Great video, you will need to buy the Dorman 800-041 5/8in Fuel Line clips. They are designed to be a one time use part, they are on Amazon for less than $10. I saved $700 by doing it myself. Total time 3hrs start to finish, fuel pump $130, fuel clips $10, satisfaction not giving the dealership my money, priceless.
700 dollars?? Impossible. My mech wanted 400 bucks. Did it myself. Everything was right there. Banged it out in 2 hours with beer breaks. Just needed to replace that round o-ring washer.
No bells and whistles, no unnecessary editing, no acting, wow , no sponsors! All thoroughness and great detail! The level of SAFETY taken.. it’s a freaking gas tank after all.. keep the good work up, stay true to your roots.. yes I’m 5 years late.. this is EXCELLENT.
For those of you with the Gen 2 Frontiers that have had the fuel pump fail...did you have a period of time (before it failed for good) that your truck would randomly go dead while going down the road, but you could crank it right back up? My 2006 4.0 did this for at least 2 years before the fuel pump finally went out. It wasn't often, but about one a week it would randomly just die sitting at a stop light or even going down the road, and I'd just pop it in neutral and crank it right back up. In hindsight, I'm pretty sure now that was the early stages of the fuel pump failing.
Just replaced Fuel Pump and sending unit in my daughter's 2007 Xterra. This is the best video on YT to help you though the job ! Using Amazon, I chose to by the Bosch unit for about $180 and added the Dorman plastic clips to my order. Glad I got the Dorman clips because the original ones broke. I would just get new ones and not waste time trying not to break the brittle originals. Also, I took an extra hour or so to pump out the 7 gallons of gas with a small hand pump, had to access the gas via the tank opening after disconnecting the filler tube. Couldn't fit floor jack under tank, and with it empty, you don't really need a jack anyway. Glad I had the impact wrench to loosen the tank strap bolts! Was tough to get the electrical connector on the new pump, very snug fit, Thought I was done but had a gas leak due to pressure hose not being fastened securely on the new pump, luckily there was no other issue. If I can do this, you can do it too! Thanks to Ry for the excellent video, I saved about $800 and spent 5 hours with my mistakes and stretch/water breaks. Now that I did it once, I could do it again in about 3 hrs. if tank is empty to start and I didn't waste time trying to save the original Dorman clips.
Just finished this with my 2005 Xterra. Thanks Ry, I've used 5 or 6 of your videos now for major maintenance and all projects have been successful. I'm blacking out my X soon with your trim paint video. Keep em coming.
97 pathfinder R50 after dealing with p0505 and ecu replacement and tps now I have a MAF p0100 checked open wire no big deal. Attempt to do idle fuel mixture procedure stalls out no codes check pressure no adequate pressure well looks like I gotta do a pump now
Just replaced my sender/sensor rather than the whole unit. Wanted to say many thanks for detailing the whole procedure. It really helped. I had one mishap where the fuel line wasn't fully clipped in (and spewed gas everywhere) so I had to drop the tank a second time, but I finally got it. Thanks a bunch man, and keep up with the videos, your content is awesome!
This video was spot on for my 2006 Frontier. Had trouble getting the fuel line clip removed from the old pump, but everything else went really smoothly. Thanks so much for your time and effort in making this and all your videos!!!!
You're so awesome! I love watching your videos. I've installed my own hitch, changed out my radio, conditioned the plastic trim and installed my own spark plugs thanks to your videos :D Changing the crankshaft position sensor next, thinking the fuel pump is gunna pop up here pretty soon too lol. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for posting this very helpful video. I have a couple of suggestions, first never take chances with fuel connectors. Replace any connectors or hoses that break while disassembling. Second, as others have mentioned clean the tank thoroughly before removing the fuel pump/sending unit. Thirdly, carefully inspect the electrical connector that plugs into the fuel pump for signs of overheating or corrossion as this can cause fuel pump problems even if the pump itself is good.
Thank you so much! Awesome instructions! Your video enabled me, a complete newbie to car mechanics to exchange the fuel pump with a little help by my injured hubby. Probably not what you put it up for, but honestly very empowering for me to see I can get something like this done! Thanks again!
It's exactly why I upload these! I actually catch flack from more experienced people because they think I over explain. But TFB, I would rather help people like you. I love hearing stories like this and I appreciate you sharing it with me. Hope your hubby gets well soon. Congrats on crushing the job. 💪🏻💪🏻
This video is outstanding. Had to replace the fuel sending unit on my 2006 Xterra last weekend and followed this step by step. About 3 hours (and a couple of bloody knuckles) and passed inspection with flying colors after the codes reset. Thanks for the great details!
Thanks Ry The Car Guy. I watched the video and figured it out, saved me $500. I also bought the Dorman 800-041 5/8in Fuel Line clips after reading the comments, mine broke as well.
thank you for your video. DIY guy here helping a neighbor. your tips helped. also ordered the dorman 800-041 clips as replacements since they were brittle.
Got the P0463 code 1 week after buying my 2005 X at a used dealership :\, bought the assembly that you listed (hope that helps support the channel) and the light turned off before I could get around to dropping the tank! It keeps turning on and off, typically after I fill the tank up. I might just wait until the code stays put before doing this fix, and glad I have this vid for reference.
Appreciated especially, the advice at the end with regards to allowing the system to pressurize by turning ignition on and off before actually cranking.
Good video. My son and I just replaced the fuel pump assembly on my daughters Xterra. Get the Dorman fuel line retainers part number 800-041(two clips per package) for the fuel evap hose. These clips are a one time use item, just pop the old ones out with a pocket screwdriver.
Thank you so much for this video. It helped a lot with the fuel pump replacement on my '06 Pathfinder. Those little plastic clips broke on mine as well, maybe you can update the description with the replacement part number so people can have them readily available. Our local parts store had them in stock, the ones I purchased where the Dorman 800‑041. Again thanks for making these videos!
Compared to the Timing Chain job this was soooo much easier on my 05 Pathfinder. Hardest part was trying to figure out a lift to lower/raise the tank while keeping balance. I didn't feel comfortable with my floor jack and ratchet straps so i used my ATV lift and it wasn't perfect but it did work. Other than that it went pretty smoothly. I did break both clips but i prepared and already had a new pair that i bought with the new fuel pump...once done the truck fired right up and check engine light gone. And best of all i now know how much gas is in the tank lol.. Thanks again Ry your videos are the best very detailed and accurate. Keep doing what you do.
Nice video. Lots of good info. I would suggest that after the tank is out, you scrub it clean BEFORE you pop the pump. ALSO use a brass drift instead of a screwdriver.(No Sparks). You should also clean the inside of the tank. Good job. Always be safe.
Well I have been putting it off but finally completely replaced my fuel pump and fuel tank on my 05 Frontier. The tank was leaking gas and every sealant I tried would not work for much more than a few months. The pump was still working but I figured I should replace it since I was in there and because it was over 10 years old. You're video helped a ton! Literally same exact process from what I could tell. Hardest part were those damn plastic electrical connections. I was able to get them all off without braking anything but it took forever. Anyways, thanks again for the great vid!
I just took out back seat then cut hole in floor behind seat exposing fuel pump, changed pump, used sheetmetal and rubber gasket to seal hole, no fumes or water can or has got in, lot quicker and lot easier
In case anyone hasn't added this comment... That c-clip will come out if you very carefully bang out the rocks that are kind of caught up inside that clip area hit it with a screwdriver handle very carefully...... and definitely props on the video extremely good video
Thanks you so much for this video. Thanks to you, we successfully changed our fuel pump on our 2008 Nissan Xterra. There was a lot of cussing involved, but we did it! You're awesome! Thank you!
I like so much your explanations, you are real professional mechanic and you know to explain without doing "circus" show , as they are doing other guys , here on you tube, where under the reason that they explain something they are doing really unpleasant "circus" show. Congratulations sir ! My full respect and considerations. Definitely I'll subscribe to your channel .
Thanks my new friend. Great video, you made the job so much easier with all the fine points. Hard to find someone like you. Watched many videos yours is by far the best. Thanks again!!
Very good. It's a great video for the less experienced. You were slow and informational which is great compared to other guys I watch and don't explain things worth a damn. And there too fast as well. Anyways I'll keep watching your videos if you keep posting them for sure!
really good video. Despite your warning, I also broke the same clip. I just replaced the fuel sending 'brush' 30$USD part on the fuel pump to fix the fuel gauge/whole repair should be warranty recall in Canada but is only so in the USA. Still had to do everything you showed. Thanks. Good work!
What a great help this was. I have been waiting years to do mine and i have watched your videos over the years leading up to me doing it today. Thanks for the video dude!
Thanks for your reply, but I didn't have time to reset the engine light, so I ran the frontier with engine light on, and wallha, light went off by itself. And that was sure the problem, defective sending unit in fuel pump, the other defect the frontier had was radiator which I already changed out, and the other defect on this stupid truck is power distribution module, but have not noticed any bad symptoms on this thing. Called the dealership if any of these defects could be changed for free, but you already know it wouldn't be free. Don't buy the Nissan Frontier, nothing but problems, and it barely has 96,450 miles on it. Again thanks for the video, it sure helped us out a lot. Keep'm coming.
Ry, thanks so much for this video, as others, I was able to get this done and save at least 600 bucks. I did get the clips which I definitely recommend as I broke both, and by far the biggest challenge for me was getting the electrical plug disconnected. I had to press on the clip with pliers to get it out, but other than that it was pretty straightforward. Again, Thanks!!!
Thanks for the video. I look forward to knocking this out quick. I did the pump on my 07 Saturn Aura with somewhat short jack stands in about 2 hours....this looks a lot easier.
Great video like always. You always take the time explaining everything carefully for our benefit. In the future though. If you are worried about sparks from hammering try a brass punch.
I just wanted to say thanks this video truly helped me out. And great job on videos they have answered all my questions and the video quality was perfect
Thanks again for posting this, was looking to tackle it in the coming weeks but hit another road block. Rats have made a colony inside my engine and ate every wire imaginable. Looking to claim on comprehensive insurance to avoid the monotonous shirk wrapping and soldering of new wires. Cheers!
awesome video, i have the exact same problem with my xterra, it is going to be a good sized job, now i know what i have to do to get ready. I have made some videos on my xterra, so i know how much work it is putting together doing one of these videos, while also figuring out how to do it. thanks again!!
mire un video antertior el cual facilito el remplazo de bomba de agua de xterra 05 igual que esa , ahora por casulidad a la misma camioneta le cambio la bomba de gasolina y miro de nuevo un video tuyo , me sirvio y mas facil al hacerlo, gracias ry. :)
I had a similar problem happen to me last night. I can confirm that I definitely smelled burning oil before my truck shut off quietly while I was sitting in a drive-thru line. Initially it would not restart but after about 3 crank attempts it did start up again. I was able to make it home and immediately checked the oil level, which was fine. The truck will start, but is very hard to crank. Your video indicates to me that I also have a fuel problem. Thanks for the upload.
Dude, thank you so much for making such a thorough video on this procedure. You seem to have a lot of patience when doing mechanics, which I lack. Good job!
Took apart my back seat i am not willing to destroy my carpet it looks brandnew just to cut out a piece of metal to get into the tank, looks like I'm either going to pay for it or I'm going to drop it so checking out your video thanks.
great video lots of details, this will help me for preparing for this job. wow your truck is really clean underneath wish l lived in a place were road salt is not used. look forward to videos in future... say maybe on half shafts.
+Mr Thunderbarker Thanks!! Yea, the "Florida car" is a beautiful thing. You will see cars down here that were built 20+ years ago that look like they just rolled off the lot.
Very nice, thorough video thanks. I came here to try to get an understanding. How do I know if I need a fuel pump or just a fuel level sensor? 2007 Xterra same code P0463. Only symptom is the gas hand situation that you describe.
Awesome video I just finished changing the fuel pump on my 07 Xterra and everything went smooth thanks to you, question does my 07 xterra have a fuel filter as well?
@@Rythecarguy I cut a hole in mine took me about an hr in total and then cut a piece of sheet metal, sealed it screwed it down in place covered it up with the carpet just in case I'd have to do it again. so much easier and quicker. Didn't have to drain gas jack the car up take a tire off. Just like the factory did and should have kept doing. Saved them money cost us more.
I understand that the gas line filter is in this tank. Is it a part of the entire fuel pump system and if so, where is it? I understand that changing the filter is a scheduled maintenance item that I am dreading if it is infact a part of the fuel pump system.
great video - we tackled this job in the last week... broke the infamous clip on the evap line (like 90% of everyone did); replaced it with a ty-wrap. got it all back together this morning, and put gas in it and it wouldn't start. and no fuel registered. ... so, lowered the tank enough to get to the electrical connection on top of the tank which was apparently loose...put it all back together again, so now the fuel level registers... BUT IT WON'T START. it's got 6-7 gallons of gas in it, the gauge registers, but can't get the engine to start.... makes me want to tear my hair out!
I hate to say it but you may want to throw the old one back in (assuming the pump part still works) to see if it will start. If it does you might have a DOA pump.
...and he says "throw the old one back in" like that's a five-minute thing to do... hahahahaha! pretty sure the pump runs (hubby can hear it when we turn the key on).... but the thing's got an anti-theft circuit on it that we may have tripped... and i've got a few relays to check in the morning... but yeah, that thought crossed my mind, too. at least all the bolts in the hangers are nicely either new or lubricated and all, so if we have to, it will come apart easier...
Brother, i have a problem with my xterra. I have good Rams but it doesn’t accelerate at all. Got my transmission check and they it’s good. The throttlebody is new also. I removed both catalytic converters and still having the same problem. Do you think is the fuel pump that is not throwing sufficient gasoline? I really don’t know what else to check. I been a subscriber since long time and every time i have a problem with my xterra i watch your videos! Thank you so much for helping us a lot !
Maybe you’ll know the answer cause everyone else can’t figure it out. I have a 2005 Xterra, it has hard time starting when hot, it’ll start every time when cold, but after turning it off it won’t start until I wait 10-15 min then it’ll start. I changed the fuel pump, relay, spark plugs and coil packs, cam shaft sensors and it still has the problem. Once started it runs great. Any advice will be appreciated.
@@Rythecarguy Just took apart my front driver side wheel bearing assembly waiting for the new one to arrive from amazon. I will use snips to cut the square out. Did you know earlier models came with a panel with nuts that you could remove to access the fuel tank to replace the stuff in there? What a disgrace that it wasn't implemented in the later models.
Very detailed video, I have an 08 Frontier and when I try to accelerate it doesn’t respond right away, it jerks a little, it does this every once in a while, any idea what could be, thanks
Of course, thank you. I hope it goes well. Be sure to check under your rear seat for an access port to the fuel pump. My truck does not have one but some people claim to have one. NEver seen proof of it though 😉
It went really well we did this in 1.5 hrs with an empty tank it makes it very manageable. My only suggestion is to have some new of those little U clips ready to replace once they are stretched they don't re-clip as tight and hose could pull out.
Ry the car guy the first gen xterra has an access plate under the rear passenger seat cushion. Since they have to be removed to fold the seat back down, it was only obvious to put one there.
I am thinking about just cutting a hole under the back seat after dropping the tank for future access. My Camry has access port from the factory and I don't see why not have that here.
I cant get my daughters Xterra to start at all, just replaced battery, turns over just like this one. 125k miles, 2012, I really think its the fuel pump but REALLY dont want to tackle that job. checked fuse, it looks good, cant find relay. What about plugs and wires?? throttle body test Angel Fix did?

My dude. Can not tell you how valuable your XTerra videos have been for me. Thanks for the great info.
Great video, you will need to buy the Dorman 800-041 5/8in Fuel Line clips. They are designed to be a one time use part, they are on Amazon for less than $10. I saved $700 by doing it myself. Total time 3hrs start to finish, fuel pump $130, fuel clips $10, satisfaction not giving the dealership my money, priceless.
+Sean Creamer awesome! Isn't it a great feeling to knock out jobs on your own car?!
700 dollars?? Impossible. My mech wanted 400 bucks. Did it myself. Everything was right there. Banged it out in 2 hours with beer breaks. Just needed to replace that round o-ring washer.
No bells and whistles, no unnecessary editing, no acting, wow , no sponsors! All thoroughness and great detail! The level of SAFETY taken.. it’s a freaking gas tank after all.. keep the good work up, stay true to your roots.. yes I’m 5 years late.. this is EXCELLENT.

Your videos are so underrated, it should have tons more views and subscribers! Thank you!
Wow thank you. Thats a very nice thing to say.
Loved the video. I went the easy route and cut a hole in the back seat. It was simple with the right tools.
Seats in an xterra pop right off.
Just finished on my 2007 Xterra. This video was a lifesaver! Also saved ~$500 by doing it myself. Many many thanks!!
Just finished this with my 2005 Xterra. Thanks Ry, I've used 5 or 6 of your videos now for major maintenance and all projects have been successful. I'm blacking out my X soon with your trim paint video. Keep em coming.
How long does the job take?
You change so much things on that Xterra, by the time you’re done with it it’ll be like a brand new car!
Haha just about!
97 pathfinder R50 after dealing with p0505 and ecu replacement and tps now I have a MAF p0100 checked open wire no big deal. Attempt to do idle fuel mixture procedure stalls out no codes check pressure no adequate pressure well looks like I gotta do a pump now
Watched your video and got on it and finished in 45 minutes. Dropped the tank cleaned out tank installed new pump and done. Thanks for video
Good work man. Glad you got it knocked out.
best how to video i have seen for nissan

you did the spark plugs? they are a pain I did mine also.
Thanks for posting this very helpful video. I have a couple of suggestions, first never take chances with fuel connectors. Replace any connectors or hoses that break while disassembling. Second, as others have mentioned clean the tank thoroughly before removing the fuel pump/sending unit. Thirdly, carefully inspect the electrical connector that plugs into the fuel pump for signs of overheating or corrossion as this can cause fuel pump problems even if the pump itself is good.
👍🏻👍🏻
Very thorough. This means the world to someone who hasn't tackled a job like this. Thank you.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching.
Great video. Finished my job exactly same amount of time as you said. Wouldn't have been that way without your tips and pointers.
So glad to help!
Thank you so much! Awesome instructions! Your video enabled me, a complete newbie to car mechanics to exchange the fuel pump with a little help by my injured hubby.

You are really good at explaining the process of all work done on the Xterra, all your videos are excellent, thanks.
You’re welcome Erick, thanks so much for watching.
This video is outstanding.
Had to replace the fuel sending unit on my 2006 Xterra last weekend and followed this step by step. About 3 hours (and a couple of bloody knuckles) and passed inspection with flying colors after the codes reset. Thanks for the great details!
My pleasure! Thank you for the kind words.
Frank, why not replace the whole assembly while you have it all out?
Thanks Ry The Car Guy. I watched the video and figured it out, saved me $500. I also bought the Dorman 800-041 5/8in Fuel Line clips after reading the comments, mine broke as well.
That's awesome Corbin. Glad you got it worked out.
Nice job. My dealer wanted 1200 for that job. Found a quality part on RA for about 180. Looking forward to knocking it out.
What brand did you end up buying on Rock Auto?
I'm in the process of comparing the different models and am thinking about buying the Bosch part.
thank you for your video. DIY guy here helping a neighbor. your tips helped. also ordered the dorman 800-041 clips as replacements since they were brittle.
Good call!

That's great! doesn't it feel good to get it done? I love getting things working again.
Another fantastic video. I broke a C clip like you did on an old Ford Exploder and the local Napa sold them in a four pack.
How much for the clips
Johnny Lorona, they were like $2.50 when I got there.
Thank you I appreciate that
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was very useful and informative!
Thanks for posting. I will be changing my pump next week
I just took out back seat then cut hole in floor behind seat exposing fuel pump, changed pump, used sheetmetal and rubber gasket to seal hole, no fumes or water can or has got in, lot quicker and lot easier
Thank you Ry for the video, it was tough but I got it done.
Glad you got it taken care of! Thanks for watching
In case anyone hasn't added this comment... That c-clip will come out if you very carefully bang out the rocks that are kind of caught up inside that clip area hit it with a screwdriver handle very carefully...... and definitely props on the video extremely good video
+Joey Scagnoli thanks man!

Called the dealership if any of these defects could be changed for free, but you already know it wouldn't be free. Don't buy the Nissan Frontier, nothing but problems, and it barely has 96,450 miles on it. Again thanks for the video, it sure helped us out a lot. Keep'm coming.
Ry, thanks so much for this video, as others, I was able to get this done and save at least 600 bucks. I did get the clips which I definitely recommend as I broke both, and by far the biggest challenge for me was getting the electrical plug disconnected. I had to press on the clip with pliers to get it out, but other than that it was pretty straightforward. Again, Thanks!!!
really one of best how to videos I've ever watched, thanks for your time you put into this.
Wow that means a lot for you to say that. Thank you. They are a ton of work but I am happy to do it if I know they help people.
Thanks for the video. I look forward to knocking this out quick. I did the pump on my 07 Saturn Aura with somewhat short jack stands in about 2 hours....this looks a lot easier.
You’re vídeos are the best. Thank you
Thanks man! 👍🏻🤘🏻
Great video like always. You always take the time explaining everything carefully for our benefit. In the future though. If you are worried about sparks from hammering try a brass punch.
💪🏻
Thank you so much for this video. It helped me a lot to install the Fuel level gauge on my Frontier and Pathfinder. Nice Video!
+Thomas G Hernandez Rivera thanks!
Thanks for doing this! Just finished mine up and this video made it easy.
Glad it helped!
Good video bro. Savings this when I need to do mine. I have to do my engine mounts when they come in on my Xterra
Sweet man, let me know how it goes.
I just wanted to say thanks this video truly helped me out. And great job on videos they have answered all my questions and the video quality was perfect
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching!
Thanks again for posting this, was looking to tackle it in the coming weeks but hit another road block. Rats have made a colony inside my engine and ate every wire imaginable. Looking to claim on comprehensive insurance to avoid the monotonous shirk wrapping and soldering of new wires. Cheers!
+Josh Hahn Damn! sorry to hear that. I hope they help you out.
Super helpful Ry, thanks a ton.
awesome video, i have the exact same problem with my xterra, it is going to be a good sized job, now i know what i have to do to get ready. I have made some videos on my xterra, so i know how much work it is putting together doing one of these videos, while also figuring out how to do it. thanks again!!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching
mire un video antertior el cual facilito el remplazo de bomba de agua de xterra 05 igual que esa , ahora por casulidad a la misma camioneta le cambio la bomba de gasolina y miro de nuevo un video tuyo , me sirvio y mas facil al hacerlo, gracias ry. :)
ive been watching your xterra videos and they been helpfull thanks man keep up the good job
Thanks man!
Thanks for the vid. I just replaced the unit in my 2006 Frontier and this was extremely helpful!
awesome! was it the exact same process?
Yep, exactly.
+W Bennington Nice, I should put that in the description. thank you!
1:08 removing the gas cap .."I assure you that is the easiest step." LMFAO
😂
Another great video, Ryan. Thanks a bunch!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
He is so cute and helpful!
Why thank you! :)
This was a awesome video it helped me out a lot and showed me how it was supposed to be done correctly
+Jasin West thanks! I'm glad ot helped. More coming soon!
To the sky and beyond! Thanks!
subscribed because i have an 05 xterra myself 👌
Thanks for subscribing!!
I had a similar problem happen to me last night. I can confirm that I definitely smelled burning oil before my truck shut off quietly while I was sitting in a drive-thru line. Initially it would not restart but after about 3 crank attempts it did start up again. I was able to make it home and immediately checked the oil level, which was fine. The truck will start, but is very hard to crank. Your video indicates to me that I also have a fuel problem. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks Ray will do
👍🏻
Thanks for this video it helps me out because l Haft to change my fuel pump on my nessan extra
You're welcome
Guys, always use a brass punch to take off that ring off of the pump to keep from making sparks.
great job explaining love your videos and I have also used them to work on my xtrrra
Thank you! I appreciate it. Be sure to sub so you know when more vids come out. I am trying to get a least two a month out now.
Dude, thank you so much for making such a thorough video on this procedure. You seem to have a lot of patience when doing mechanics, which I lack. Good job!
Took apart my back seat i am not willing to destroy my carpet it looks brandnew just to cut out a piece of metal to get into the tank, looks like I'm either going to pay for it or I'm going to drop it so checking out your video thanks.
ry i did everything by the book on your video
great video lots of details, this will help me for preparing for this job. wow your truck is really clean underneath wish l lived in a place were road salt is not used. look forward to videos in future... say maybe on half shafts.
+Mr Thunderbarker Thanks!! Yea, the "Florida car" is a beautiful thing. You will see cars down here that were built 20+ years ago that look like they just rolled off the lot.
Good video, there is a recall for 06 through 08 frontier xterra pathfinder fuel level gauge FYI.....
Too bad mine is an 05... Good info though for the people that have those years!
Very nice, thorough video thanks. I came here to try to get an understanding. How do I know if I need a fuel pump or just a fuel level sensor? 2007 Xterra same code P0463. Only symptom is the gas hand situation that you describe.
Awesome video I just finished changing the fuel pump on my 07 Xterra and everything went smooth thanks to you, question does my 07 xterra have a fuel filter as well?
that was a fantastic video. Great job, super helpful! Thank you.
👍🏻👍🏻
I know this is old but there is an access panel under the back seat so you don't have to pull the tank? On some of them. If not cut one.
That's true for some models. Not mine.
@@Rythecarguy I cut a hole in mine took me about an hr in total and then cut a piece of sheet metal, sealed it screwed it down in place covered it up with the carpet just in case I'd have to do it again. so much easier and quicker. Didn't have to drain gas jack the car up take a tire off. Just like the factory did and should have kept doing. Saved them money cost us more.
Thank you for your help.
👍🏻
I understand that the gas line filter is in this tank. Is it a part of the entire fuel pump system and if so, where is it? I understand that changing the filter is a scheduled maintenance item that I am dreading if it is infact a part of the fuel pump system.
great video - we tackled this job in the last week... broke the infamous clip on the evap line (like 90% of everyone did); replaced it with a ty-wrap. got it all back together this morning, and put gas in it and it wouldn't start. and no fuel registered. ... so, lowered the tank enough to get to the electrical connection on top of the tank which was apparently loose...put it all back together again, so now the fuel level registers... BUT IT WON'T START. it's got 6-7 gallons of gas in it, the gauge registers, but can't get the engine to start.... makes me want to tear my hair out!
I hate to say it but you may want to throw the old one back in (assuming the pump part still works) to see if it will start. If it does you might have a DOA pump.
...and he says "throw the old one back in" like that's a five-minute thing to do... hahahahaha! pretty sure the pump runs (hubby can hear it when we turn the key on).... but the thing's got an anti-theft circuit on it that we may have tripped... and i've got a few relays to check in the morning... but yeah, that thought crossed my mind, too. at least all the bolts in the hangers are nicely either new or lubricated and all, so if we have to, it will come apart easier...
Brother, i have a problem with my xterra. I have good Rams but it doesn’t accelerate at all. Got my transmission check and they it’s good. The throttlebody is new also. I removed both catalytic converters and still having the same problem. Do you think is the fuel pump that is not throwing sufficient gasoline? I really don’t know what else to check. I been a subscriber since long time and every time i have a problem with my xterra i watch your videos! Thank you so much for helping us a lot !
thanks for posting great video, is there a drain plug in the bottom of the tank to empty the tank first?
got a link to where you bought the pump? good price! autozone wants 300 bucks. they have a cheaper one for 168. so $130 bucks is a deal.
Here you go dude www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006GZBMQO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I ordered a Bosh on RockAuto for 165 they had the spectra for 135
Maybe you’ll know the answer cause everyone else can’t figure it out.
I have a 2005 Xterra, it has hard time starting when hot, it’ll start every time when cold, but after turning it off it won’t start until I wait 10-15 min then it’ll start. I changed the fuel pump, relay, spark plugs and coil packs, cam shaft sensors and it still has the problem. Once started it runs great. Any advice will be appreciated.
Ever figure this out?
Same exact problem here. No one can figure it out. Replaced everything and still won't start after it's hot. Anyone figure it out?
Awesome RY but I think I'm going to go the easier route which is cutting into the base of the nissan above the tank.
Sounds good, be careful!
@@Rythecarguy Just took apart my front driver side wheel bearing assembly waiting for the new one to arrive from amazon. I will use snips to cut the square out. Did you know earlier models came with a panel with nuts that you could remove to access the fuel tank to replace the stuff in there? What a disgrace that it wasn't implemented in the later models.
This only applies for 2005 and above xterras. Below that you can access this quickly through an access plate under the rear seat.
Truth
Very detailed video, I have an 08 Frontier and when I try to accelerate it doesn’t respond right away, it jerks a little, it does this every once in a while, any idea what could be, thanks
Ryan you're my Xterra's bestie
😍
Very nice job and very thorough too thanks. I might try to do this with my son and save me $400.00 they want 600.00 + to do this at my local garage.
Of course, thank you. I hope it goes well. Be sure to check under your rear seat for an access port to the fuel pump. My truck does not have one but some people claim to have one. NEver seen proof of it though 😉
It went really well we did this in 1.5 hrs with an empty tank it makes it very manageable. My only suggestion is to have some new of those little U clips ready to replace once they are stretched they don't re-clip as tight and hose could pull out.
Great suggestion. Glad it went well.
Ry the car guy the first gen xterra has an access plate under the rear passenger seat cushion. Since they have to be removed to fold the seat back down, it was only obvious to put one there.
How do you do a fuel pressure test ?
I am thinking about just cutting a hole under the back seat after dropping the tank for future access. My Camry has access port from the factory and I don't see why not have that here.
These clips are pretty universal now. You can go to a good parts store and find them in stock for about 2 bucks each.
I cant get my daughters Xterra to start at all, just replaced battery, turns over just like this one. 125k miles, 2012, I really think its the fuel pump but REALLY dont want to tackle that job. checked fuse, it looks good, cant find relay. What about plugs and wires?? throttle body test Angel Fix did?
