sc300 fuel pump access plate
Hello Group:
New member and new post. Found a 1992 SC300, 143K miles that has been sitting outside for the past 6 years. I got it for FREE!!!! (Really!! just had to get a tow and that cost 140.00) But.. can I get it running??
First test: compression. 195 to 205 PSI cold compression on all 6 cyl. YEAH!!!. Engine should start. Did a full tuneup, timing belt, water pump etc. It is now all put back together and "ready to run", but cannot get fuel to the engine. No sound from the fuel pump. Researched "replacing fuel pump and saw there whould be an access hole behind the rear seat. Yup, right where forum said it would be...plate about 6" in diameter...no screws or bolts. The big rectangular plate has 5 nuts, but looks like it is glued as well. Big PITA to remover
Do I just forcibly pry the silver circle out with a putty knife? Would the pump be frozen with old fuel varnish? Procedure to test/repair? Best option to just buy a new one and stick it in?
THANKS for any advice.
