Default what should I expect for a fuel pump replacement???

I'm going to have to get my fuel pump replaced, as there is no way this one will go much longer. The crank times are getting ridiculous, and im afraid of hurting my starter. What is the procedure for replacing a fuel pump? Just wondering if I should clear the stuff out of my trunk (not sure where the fuel tank bolts in) or if they're just gonna be under the car. Also, has anyone had issues with them refusing service due to aftermarket parts? I have a cold air intake and a throttle controller and I don't want them to blame the part failure on that and then charge me an arm and a leg to replace. Also, what is the cost? My warranty is up and I believe there's a service bulliten out for this issue, but I'm not sure if its free or a lowered cost, or nothing. Thanks guys!

TSB's are not the same as recalls. You will have to pay for the parts and labor if not under warranty. The fuel pump access port is under the back seat. They will not be working under the car at all.

We really need a howto on here for this fuel pressure regulator issue with part numbers and pictures. Such a common issue.

Also just looked up prices. If you DIY your looking around $300 for a new pump and o-ring. I guess the regulator is part of the pump assembly so you need to replace the entire thing. I can't seem to find a part number for the regulator even though I swear I seen a post on here about it. If you have a dealer do it I bet would be 3-4 hours labor so my guess would be $700 +/- to get it all done at the dealer.

Fml.. that would be almost all of my tax refund. Any quick fixes? Should I just put up with it or will it just not start someday? I was really hopiing to put something fun in the car with my refund money, not just make sure it keeps working... any chance the fuel pump is covered under powertrain? I still have a year on that

Yes it is covered under the 6/60k mile powertrain warranty.

i had my fuel pressure regulator replaced after warranty. did not get whole fuel pump replaced, just the fpr. about $50 for the part, about one hour labour at independent mechanic, not too bad. He specifically ordered just the regulator from Nissan dealer for me. I delayed replacement as long as i could by pumping gas pedal madly while cranking, but i didn't want to be stranded either so i just got it done. Hope it helps! 08v

If its covered under powertrain warranty I'll be fine, cause I still have 1 year/15,000 miles remaining on it. PHEW!

that's the road I want to take
I'm searching for a car doctor [independent shop] when she starts acting up again, I will have a doctor to tow it to with tripleA roadside service.




is the fuel pressure regulator inside the fuel tank or outside?

So they shouldn't have to go in the trunk/under the hood at all right? I've heard from friends that my dealership makes a fuss with aftermarket parts. And I don't wanna get into an argument with them
