My hyundai Excel Sprint has sat for four years and I think the fuel has turned to jelly, how do I fix this problem. Do I have to remove the fuel tank and replace?

Have you checked for spark first? Sometimes a car won't start due to no spark. This condition is usually caused by: Security system, bad ignition module, crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor. You check it by pulling a plug wire and putting a screwdriver in the wire to see if it arcs. If it is getting fire look for the fuel pressure release valve usually located on the fuel rail, looks like a tire valve stem. If it shoots out gas, and you hear the fuel pump prime, check the fuel pressure regulator. It could also be the timing. There are four things needed for a car to start: fuel, spark, timing, compression. As for your question, as far as I know there is one fuel pump, you have to drop the tank to fix it. Hope this helps.

fuel filter on back fire wall its black

its got to be in the tank or on a bulkhead near engine

Turn the car on and listen for a sound resembling an electric motor running, which should stop after just a few seconds of having the key turned to acc (pre ignition) If nothing then you will have to drop the gas tank belts and pull the pump from the upper assymbly. I believe it is threaded normally and the fuel hoses can be removed with the ends taped to keep dust and dirt from making its way into your fuel system.
Check O'Reilys or Autozone for the pump



GOOD LUCK AND PLS RATE THIS POST!!!!!

ontop of manifold ther is a vacume operated sensor it may be faulty the ther problem we have in aust the fuel pumps shut down the are in the tank under the rear seat under the metal plate remove plate turn ign on listen to see if pump powers up and pressures fuel line if so start and check fuel pressure with a pressuse guage in line watch it to see if pressure dropes hope this helps

Apparently NOT since you cannot find a replacement part.... logic follows: you cannot replace it when/if you don't have a replacement. Ya think?

Firstly, in Australia the 1995 Excel III Sprint is the re-named Hyundai Accent (x3).

Solution: Hyundai has a very complete service web site for all technical issues. Refer http://www.hmaservice.com/, although you will have to create a logon ID with a password.

its near the air filter u can see it just under the hood of your hyundai excel 92

Hi, if it is an early 97 12valve engine the plugs will be accessed through between the exhaust manifold sections at the front of the motor. if it is a 16 valve, then you remove the plug leads to get access undo them, then use the lead cap to remove the plugs, ie wqhen the plug is undone, push the lead cap back onto the plug, and lift it out. you certainly would not need to remove the valve cover.
