Honda Accord Fuel Pumps

The fuel pump pulls gasoline from the fuel tank to the fuel injectors in your Honda Accord. The gas delivery is pressurized, and it has to deliver enough gas for your Honda to start and continue running. You can find a number of Honda Accord fuel pumps in the case that you need a replacement.

What are some trouble signs of a bad fuel pump?
  • A bad fuel pump can cause overheating and stalling in your Honda.
  • A fuel pump that is malfunctioning will not deliver enough gas to your Accord. Your Honda Accord will sputter at high speeds or lose power on hills or when it is pulling heavy loads.
  • You feel bursts of acceleration from your Accord.
  • The fuel pressure gauge registers a low reading, when you check it.
  • The fuel economy of your Honda Accord drops.
  • Your Accord will not start.
Is there a test for faulty Honda Accord fuel pumps?

There are several ways to test the fuel pump in your Accord.

  • Spray starting fluid in the throttle. Have someone try to start your Honda. If it starts and then stops, your Honda Accord is not getting gas. Most of the time, this is a pump issue, but it could be another issue, such as a fuse or a relay. If the engine cranks but will not start, then, it is not the fuel pump.
  • Remove the gas line from the rail and have someone try to start the engine. If no gas comes out of the gas line, then it is bad.
  • Use a multimeter to see if it is getting 12 volts of power. It is accessible through a hole in the back of the Honda Accord. If it is getting power and the vehicle is cranking, then you need a new pump.
  • Use a gauge to check the pressure. Attach the gauge and have someone try to start the engine. If the gauge registers 35 psi, then the pump is fine. If the gauge registers 0 psi, then you need a new pump.
What is the safest way to replace a fuel pump?

For safety, take these precautions.

  • Make sure the gas tank is empty.
  • Have safety goggles, safety gloves, and a fire extinguisher.
  • Remove the ground cable from the battery.
  • Work in a well-ventilated area.
  • Anything that could create a spark should be removed from your work area.
  • Release the gas tank pressure using the owners manual instructions.
  • Make sure the gas tank or fuel hoses are kept free from dirt.
  • Check for leaks when you are done.
