Hey there guys,

I have a 1994 Mustang V6 whose Fuel Injector and Fuel Pump have gone out. I found the parts online relatively inexpensive, but the butt kicker will be labor at the shop. I wanted to know if this is something that you all think I can do myself or do I need to take it to the shop. Any ideas or experience out there?

Thanks a bunch guys!!!

 

Depends on much experience you have.

 

I do not have lots of experience. I decided I may just have someone clean or replace the injectors, but the fuel pump replacement seems pretty forward. Would that be accurate to say?

 

make sure you have a fuel line disconect tool

 

For the fuel pump replacement, right? Okay, now I do not have jack stands for the back of the car and to hold the tank when I loosen the bands. All I have is a 2 ton jack. Do I need to get jack stands to do this? Thanks...

 

You should ALWAYS use jackstands any time you go under a suspended vehicle. I use jackstands when I change my oil. It is that serious.

Onto your question... Injectors take very little knowledge to be able to replace. On my 00 GT it takes a 7mm socket. That's it.

As for the pump, it is straight forward, but dropping the tank can be a pain especially if you have a lot of fuel in it. Remember to grab the disconnect tool. I have used two different types, and I suggest getting the ones that are just the circle that you push into the coupling. The ones with handles just get in the way. You will have to push pretty hard to get the tool in, but once it is, the line should just pull out.

Good luck, and DO NOT GO UNDER YOUR CAR WITHOUT JACKSTANDS

 

Fuel pump is easy like everybody has said. But you also will need to get the filler grommet. You need to replace it everytime you take the filler next out. And ford dealership will have it in stock.

Also drain your fuel, it will make it a lot easier. Trust me.

 

Wow! I am sorry to hear about what happened to your buddy. That is sad. With that said, I guess I need to purchase some jack stands. Thanks

 

Okay, I ordered the new electronic fuel pump online. I have not purchased injectors yet because as few people told me they may not need to be replaced, but only cleaned and to use Seafoam in the tank to do it.

 

Just quoted that site for relevance to the Mustang world, but I didn't know the guy. No matter what you are going to need a jack free to lower the tank anyway, so two jackstands should be just what you need.

Good luck.
