2000 Cadillac Eldorado Fuel Pressure Sensor Parts and Q&A

• Q: What Tools Are Required to Service and Repair the Fuel Pressure Sensor on 2000 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: The required tools for servicing and repairing the Fuel Tank pressure sensor include fuel pressure gauge (J 34730). The maintenance of the fuel system requires first reducing fuel pressure until it reaches 3/4 of the Fuel Tank capacity before draining the tank fully. Start by raising the vehicle and removing the Fuel Tank from its place. The electrical connectors at the modular fuel sender and Fuel Tank pressure sensor should be removed before the sensor can be extracted from its housing by removing its retaining clip. The fuel sender assembly requires cleaned o-ring sealing surfaces after which the replacement Fuel Tank pressure sensor can be inserted into the modular fuel sender. Reinstall the clip before you attach the electrical connector to the Fuel Tank pressure sensor followed by connecting the modular fuel sender electrical connector at the Fuel Tank. The installer must handle the Fuel Tank installation process while pouring fuel into it before installing the Fuel Tank filler pipe cap. Secure safety measures before installing the negative Battery Cable and use a 2-second on ignition followed by a 10-second off to inspect for fuel leaks. Double-check the on ignition to verify the absence of leaks. Fasten the fuel injector shield to the engine by installing fuel injector sight shield nuts which need to be screwed to a torque of 3 n.m (27 lb in).
