Getting ready to replace my fuel pump, little confused on the layout. Does the 06-07 fuel pump not come with the little black rubber tubing sticking that that connects to the pump module?

The previous ones i see for sale have that tube sticking out, how do you guys connect using the sequoia pump??

This is a pump assembly from a 2007, does the black cage/housing swap over so you can feed the pump to the module?

NO, the one for the VVT engine (06-07) does not have the tube. The pump repeatedly shown in first page of this thread, is the one you want. You'll pull pump from cage and insert in your cage/assembly.

Or you can buy the Toyota correct for 06-07 LC/LX, which has cage and sock. But about 3 times the cost.

Pump is the same in either.
 
Just did mine today, a little tip if your common sense is as bad as mine.

I tried to remove the pump from the cage while it was still hooked up by that rubber tube. I was prying at the pegs to open it and it kept snapping back in place. After picking at it for awhile, i decided to move the 2 clamps holding the rubber tube to the assembly and slid it upwards towards the aluminum tube. The pump then tilted forward and just fell out of the assembly, from then you can remove the cage and swap the new pump in. The electrical clip is very hard to come out, you'll have to stick a fine needle pick in there to wedge it and pull it out. The pump will just fall out then, put the new oring in and line up with the port of the clip and give it a good push, you'll hear a snap and that's that. Install the bottom strainer assembly until it locks in and you're good to go.
 
I just did this job this afternoon. Thanks @jerryb for posting this thread and confirming old strainer re-use was ok. I was debating what to do once I realized the new part (sourced by PO) didn't have a usable strainer.

I was having hot start trouble. It would always start eventually, but sometimes would timeout and require a few crank attempts. Hopefully this new Denso pump fixes that.

Did this end up fixing your issue?

It improved, but did not fix it. I still have a pathetic warm start. It has always started since the fuel pump replacement, but it's not 100%. I haven't dug any further into it.
 
Thanks everyone for all the information. I replaced the fuel pump on my 06 LX 470 yesterday and it was a piece of cake because of all your tips! The only hangup was the strainer which is impossible to find other than going through the dealerships at outrageous cost! I ended up using the old one and just cleaned it up the best I could. Thanks again!

What pump and part number did you end up using?
 
If you're a klutz like me, maybe order a couple new yellow fuel pump clips too. I flicked one down an irretrievable crack.

Another dummies-first-pump-swap note: the o-ring in the 950-210 kit is actually really important. Won't start without it.

Awesome information. I used this thread to replace the pump in my 2006 LX after having engine stalling issues going uphill in 100+ degree weather. Another confirmation Denso 950-0210 is direct replacement. Factory harness plugs right in. Re-used original factory strainer.

Few tips for those attempting this
  • Pull the fuel pump relay and crank the engine until it stalls out to relieve pressure in the lines. The relay is located in the engine bay in the fusebox positioned along the driver side. I used a 90-degree flat head screwdriver underneath the relay for leverage to help pull the relay out of the socket. I had to temporarily remove the starter relay to get enough space to access the fuel pump relay.
  • The white plastic cage holding the strainer to the fuel pump... I was nervous prying it off but as it turns out the plastic on mine was not brittle so no issues removing it.
  • Remember to install the included o-ring onto the new pump

I just used the Denso pump referenced in this thread to change out the fuel pump on my 02/2006 LX470. Thanks a ton to whomever found the part number and hooked us all up! @jerryb maybe? Thanks!

And thanks @SuperExciteBike for the encouragement on getting the white plastic cage off the pump--I too was very worried about breaking that cage and was being super, duper careful with it and it kept not wanting to come off and seemed to be getting to the point of breaking (i've broke tons of plastic tabs in my life....:rolleyes: ). So I came searching and reading again and found your post and it gave me the balls to pry that *slight* bit futher. Thank goodness mine was also totally fine to get pried on a bit further than I woulda though.

Great thread - thanks for al the specifics. Just stalled out a couple of days ago in my 06 LC, on a very slight up-grade at about 97 degrees, and after driving 2-3 hours on easy dirt and pavement in that heat (I came down from about 6000ft elevation and was going up and down between 5000 and 4000 when it happened). Started to notice a sputter, and kept giving gas to get to a better place in a tight bend when she finally died. Waited about 30 minutes while I sorted out what to do, and then tried to start. Engine fired up perfectly like nothing ever happened! Weird.

Never had this happen before, and I've been fighting a year-long saga with my LRA Aux 24 install. Someone on that thread pointed me to this one. I assumed that the stall out was related to the Aux fuel tank and excessive vapor build-up that the extra 24 gal can put into the system on hot days, but I'm going to swap out the pump and cross my fingers next time I'm in the heat. If the pump solves it, then I may have engineered the problems out of my LRA Aux system, if anyone is interested.

Replaced mine in my 2007 cruiser last night. Thanks for all the tips. Used the denso. Also found a surprise in the bottom of the tank. Looks like the return rubber thing had popped off somehow.

I ordered 2 different aftermarket pre pump filters. Neither worked. Was worth a shot. Just cleaned the old one with carb cleaner and re used.

Thanks Toyota for making this pretty painless!

I just picked up another one of these from Rockauto.com. I thought Denso had stopped making them, so I was skeptical...but it all looks legit. Compared it to an old pump I have pulled from my 07. Looks identical in all aspects. Says they now have 1 left in stock in case anyone needs it.

Thanks for the tip. Just picked up one for the spare parts bin.

Does this mean that you start fine when cold and struggle to start when warmed?

Yes. Even still, nearly 5 years later.

So, I am willing to bet you are flooding. Fuel pressure regulator or injectors are most likely leaking fuel in the cylinders. I would look at the regulator first. Good luck!
