How do you replace the fuel pump?

My Ti cut out and not won't start again. Its not the battery and it has gas in the tank. I'm thinking that it is the fuel pump. It appear that it want to start but it just churns and never start.

Probably the fuel pump, they go bad. There is an procedure in the Bently manual to jump the FP relay and test the pump. You could take the rear cushion out and the black cover off to hear if it is running.

Well, I found out how. Under the rear sear cushion there is an access panel that needs to be removed. Then the top of the fuel pump housing unscrews from the tank.

It's EXTREMELY easy. I replaced mine within minutes.

Make sure to check if it has power going to the pump before you go out and buy one.

is the pump on the passenger or driver side of the rear seats?
