Fuel pump or fuel filter 2009 aveo 1.6 manual 5 speed.

[cochran@usa.com]

I just recently purchased a 2009 AVEO 1.6 liter 4 cylinder, manual shift 5 speed. I've had it about a week and yesterday I was going up a hill and it was like it was losing power as I attempted to floor it to get up then ill it was spitting and sputtering. Finally as the day progressed, it wouldn't start. I have done some research and some people say there is another fielder by the passenger rear wheel well? I looked on both sides and I guess my didn't come with that option. So I went online looking to buy the fuel sending unit or the fuel pump and I bought the fuel pump which comes with the fuel filter that's inside the fuel sending unit in the whole compartment. Now I'm no mechanic I will tell you this so I can follow directions and I can watch a video and pretty much get it done but I'm just seeing if there's anybody out there that could give me any tips or any know how or any lessons I could because it'll be in the mail tomorrow I would really appreciate it..

There is an EVAP canister behind the rear passenger wheel. Easy enough to replace that but very unlikely to be your problem.

Replacing a fuel pump/sender assembly shouldn't be terribly difficult once you get to the fuel tank (did it on a Dodge Grand Caravan once, was pretty straightforward). According to the service manual, access can be gained through the floor underneath the rear seat

First thing is to make sure that rear access hole, under the rear seat is actually there.
If not, taking the fuel tank down is not real easy.
Care should be taken when re-installing the NEW fuel pump assembly. The fuel inlet strainer, and the float arm, including the float
itself, are easily damaged. In addition there are alignment marks in the fuel tank, and the raised portion of the fuel pump module,
that need to be aligned, before the old pump can be raised out of the fuel tank.
The job is not too bad, however the front seat may need to be removed, to have more access space.
Haynes has a nice write-up in their AVEO manual.
