How do you replace the fuel filter for a 1989 Buick Le Sabre?
To replace a fuel filter, locate the fuel pump relay and unplug it. Now, start the car and wait for it to die from lack of fuel. Then try to start it a few more times to make sure most of the fuel in the lines is gone. No, find the fuel filter and remove it via nessecary means. Be aware that some fuel will still come out when the lines are loosened and removed. Put the new filter on and tighten lines to spec, or use appropriate clips. Plug in the fuel pump relay again and turn the key on, then off a few times waiting 5 seconds before shutting it off and doing it again (without starting the engine). This will prim the fuel lines. Then start the engine and look at the filter while running to check for leaks.
How do you check the fuel pump?
In-tank fuel pumps have a tendency to make a louder whine, when they are dying. So start turn the ignition on, not starting the engine and listen. Do you hear the pump louder than normal? Other than that, doing a fuel pressure test will tell you if it's dying or there is something in the lines prior the fuel filter. Change the fuel filter if it has not been changed in awhile. Cloged filters can put strain on the pump and make the engine run poor.
