If the tempature outside is hot, like now. my car will start fine but while driving it will not stay running. It will restart fine but will die again.If temp outside cools off I do not have this problem. I was told by a mechanic that the fuel pump is getting weak and the car is vapor locking?????? If this is true what is the easiest way to change the fuel pump out? Does the back seat come out and how??? thanks in advance

Not sure about the "best" way but I can tell you how I did it. First run as much fuel out of the system as you can so the tank is empty or nearly so. Disconnect the battery so you don't have any chance of having a source of ignition. Then pull the lower cushion of the back seat (it has a spring clip in the front on each side that holds it to the floor) depress the clips, lift up and remove the seat, this will expose two wiring connectors in the middle of the floor, disconnect both connectors then pull the screws from the cover in the floor pan and feed the wires back through it. Next go under the car and begin disconnecting the fuel lines, if memory serves me there are two to disconnect on the front side of the tank and one on the backside near the top that is easiest to disconnect when the tank is partially lowered. Disconnect the fuel filler line from the side of the tank (A long screwdriver and a socket with a long extension are handy here) move it aside (you may need to pull the support bracket to do so) Then support the tank from underneath with a floor jack, remove the bolts holding the tank straps in place and gently lower the tank making sure there isn't anything still connected, if all is clear then roll the tank out, r/r the fuel pump and as they say; installation is the reverse. Hope this helps.

i am not too sure it is the fuel pump problem. my car die when it is rain, an very hummid. after it die, i can start the car again, and drive for few feet and die again or very rought idil.
the problem is the ignition coil, buy from the dealer cost 90 to 100. I buy the use distributor at junk yard for $35. the problem was fix

mitsubishi2001 man, I can't comprehend any of your posts! (no offence) You should have bought a cap & rotor. It's unheard of for the old Nippon-Denso distributors to go bad. Rare the ignitor's ever go bad also.




dozer let us know how it goes.
