I had to change the fuel pump and filter recently on my car, so here's a DIY. My engine is 4g94, but I'm pretty sure it's the same for the 4g69 with the only difference being there is no return hose to disconnect on the filter assembly.
Tools needed:
Phillips head screwdriver
8mm ring spanner
The fuel pump is located in the top of the fuel tank, and can be accessed by removing the bottom half of the rear seats. Simply pull upwards by the front underside and they will pop out.
There is an access panel slightly to the left side, under this is the fuel pump and filter assembly. Using the screwdriver, remove this panel
You will then see the pump and filter assembly. Disconnect the plug, which will disable the fuel pump. Don't remove the fuel lines at this point.
Next is removing the fuel line. 4g94 engines have a return line also, 4g69 do not. Procedure should otherwise be exactly the same. Now unless you want to end up with fuel squirting out all over the top of the tank and potentially inside your car (like mine did), then put your key in the ignition and crank the engine, to draw the fuel out of the lines. After this, it is safe to pull the fuel lines off.
You will then need the 8mm ring spanner to remove the bolts holding the filter in place. Once these are off, the filter can be lifted out of the tank. To remove the pump, simply pull the plastic holding it in (underside of the filter) off the clips and it can be pulled out. This is the filter:
And this is the pump:
When changing the filter, I just reused the wiring for the pump by removing all the clips and putting them in the same place on the new filter
Hope this makes it simpler for anyone needing to do this.
