Fuel Pump Resistor Service Procedure for 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP and Buick Regal GS with L67 Engine
The following are instructions for removing the fuel pump resistor from its original mounting location on the lower right front body rail, and replacing it with a new fuel pump resistor and cover in new location as shown. The new location is on the front of dash sheet metal (3) at the rear of the engine compartment, inboard or to the left of the alternator (4). The passenger or right side windshield wiper arm (5) and stop (6) are called out for reference purposed only.
1. Turn the steering wheel to the total right position.
2. Open the hood and disconnect the detrimental battery cable.
3. Remove the diagonal brace from over the windshield washer solvent reservoir by removing the two bolts that connect it to the radiator support and the one bolt that attaches it to the strut tower.
4. Take away the 2 plastic push-in retainers that attach the windshield washer solvent reservoir to the radiator help and the one nut that attaches it to the strut tower.
5. Reposition the reservoir for access to the realm rearward of the battery.
6. Elevate the car on a hoist. At the right front wheel opening, remove the three screws that connect the inside fender splash shield to the entrance fascia at the wheel opening and the 2 screws that attach it to the bottom of the fascia.
7. Reposition the internal fender splash shield to entry the fuel pump resistor. Unclip the fuel pump resistor electrical connector from the body and disconnect the connector.
8. Remove the 10mm hex head bolt attaching the fuel pump resistor to the physique and discard each the bolt and the resistor. Route the physique aspect connector that was related to the resistor via the opening in the sheet steel and into the engine compartment. When correctly routed, the connector needs to be getting into the engine compartment simply rearward of the battery.
9. Verify that the black conduit on the wiring harness is defending the wiring from any sharp edges in the sheet metal opening. Reposition the conduit and harness if necessary.
10. Reposition and align the inner fender splash defend to the front fascia and install the 5 screws. Tighten the screws to 2 NJm (18 lb in).
11. Lower the hoist. If equipped, remove the nuts attaching the cross car brace/bar to the left and right strut towers and take away the brace. Place the new fuel pump resistor on the front of the dash sheet steel at its NEW mounting location as proven originally of this procedure.
12. Mark the situation for the hole to be drilled within the entrance of the dash sheet metal. Utilizing a 3.5mm (9/sixty four in) diameter drill bit, drill a hole at the location marked in Step 17.
13. Position the fuel pump resistor cowl on the resistor and place the meeting on the front of the sprint sheet steel with the outlet in the sheet metal in alignment with the outlet within the resistor and cover.
14. Set up the bolt supplied with the kit by way of the duvet and resistor and into the hole in the entrance of the dash. Tighten Tighten the bolt to 1.5 NJm (thirteen lb in).
15. Route the new fuel pump resistor wiring harness along the entrance of the sprint and secure it to the vacuum harness conduit on the location shown using a plastic tie included with the kit. Continue routing the wiring harness alongside the top of the fitting front strut tower. Safe it to the present conduit at the location shown using a plastic tie.
16. Continue routing the wiring harness down the front of the strut tower and safe it to the present conduit with a plastic tie. Join the brand new gasoline pump resistor connector to the wiring harness connector.
17. If geared up, install the cross automobile brace and nuts. Tighten the nuts to 18 NJm (13 lb ft). Reinstall the windshield washer solvent reservoir and install the two push-in fasteners and nut. Tighten the nut to 6 NJm (fifty three lb in).
18. Reinstall the diagonal brace over the reservoir and set up the two bolts that connect it to the radiator assist and the one bolt that attaches it to the strut tower. Tighten Tighten the bolts to 47 NJm (35 lb ft).
19. Reconnect the battery cable.
20. Begin the engine to confirm correct gas pump resistor operation. Install the GM Campaign Identification Label and close the hood.
