I have 86 4runner 22re that I AM HAVING FUEL PROBLEMS WITH I wanted to check get to the fuel pump whithout dropping the gas tank, I understand there is way to get to it from the back seat , could someone explain more.

 

On my 86 4runner if you lift up the back seat on the passenger side there should be a pass through cover. If I remember there is only a few screws and you might have to do a bit of prying to pop it off. I opens up right on top of the fuel pump cover on the gas tank. Oh and it will be under some carpet, so a utility knife will be necessary. Just feel around and you should be able to tell where to cut.

 

thanks when I lift the seat up on the passenger side I CUT the carpet and pulled it back and found what looks to be fiberglass covering the floor , is that normal, is it under that and am I IN THE RIGHTplace.

 

I am having the same issue. I think the pump is bad or the pickup screen is clogged. Anybody know where the fuse is for the fuel pump?
