Yep no service times for those, I'm wondering just how much difference changing it could make though.
It would make a difference, especially if you are near or over 100k.

Ours only have the one in the pump. A few people have broken the housing for them trying to update the pump. I'm leaving it well alone!
You will probably find that it has a sock filter(prefilter) to prevent the large pieces of junk entering the fuel pump, then a secondary filter built into the regulator. Ahh it's a bit delicate, can understand that. That's where it gets really expensive =)
Edit: Had a look at your fuel setup on an online manual. There is a sock pre-filter, with the fuel pump/regulator/filter built into a plastic housing that slides in and out of the tank. I take it it's this housing that people are breaking when they take the tank apart? Could see the float being bent too if someone wasn't careful. If you keep getting driveability issues these filters would need to be changed. There is a risk too that you might run lean when you 'get on it' if the filters are bad enough, but TBH you 'should' see codes before this happens.
Hopefully cleaning the throttlebody will cure it. I can see why you don't want to mess with the fuel pump. There are a couple quick disconnects that need to be undone and as the plastic gets older they become less 'quick' and more a PITA!

It's not under the bonnet? That's very unusual
Newer cars have them more and more built into the fuel pump assembly along with the regulator, least the cheap cars from what I have seen.

Have to wait for it to go off sale =)

Your fuel pump assembly screwed into the tank? How is it built?
Glad it's running better. Considering you run a lot of city miles 22 isn't too bad. The MPG doesn't really clock up until you start cruising at a steady speed, preferably below triple digits.
Triple digits! It's illegal to drive over 70mph!
Most people seem to get at least 25-26mpg around town so it could be better. Even on a long cruise I didn't touch 30mpg!
You might just have to pull the pump yet =)
It was a joke, would be insane to drive that fast on the road.

Tried the foam tape too... didn't stick either. Going to go the 3m route and see if that stuff will stick.

That last tank was all town driving as I wasn't really using the car cos of the caliper. On my drive to work this morning the car was alot better when crawling in traffic, it was becoming tiresome before. It will start to judder very slightly in 1st gear if you go too slow but other than that it's fine.
Could probably do with the throttle body cleaned out with attention to the idle air control. When was your fuel filter changed out?
-
Hmm will have to look into it more. Not all tapes are created equal =)
-
It's part of the unibody, I cannot wrap anything around it.
-
I am trying to fit a 3ft length of LED lights into my boot along a metal support. I have cleaned it with alcohol and applied double sided tape, but the tape keeps coming undone. Any ideas?
-
If you tap it out you will not have the same load strength, but it would probably be good enough.
-
You driving in the city a lot? That's not too far off if that's the case.
Air-filters do make a difference. There isn't a 'placebo' effect with them at all. It's just not noticeable really since the power gains are not large enough for the butt dyno to register it. That filter looks pretty dirty. Just think of how well you could breath if you had to breath through something like that =) More restriction on the intake the more vacuum you need to pull the same air volume through the filter. More vacuum means more work for the engine(pump). You did find that drive-ability changes a lot with a little gain in torque.

they had them on mountain bikes for years, work a treat as long as you take them off periodically to ensure theres no trapped moisture in there
Wondered if this happened =)
They bind up on the springs after a while?
-
Haha in other words we try to keep it right but it's not always going to be the case. You follow at your own risk lol

Don't have my car =(
Dodge days 100k miles.. People have been snapping them at 75k....
-
... No wonder people mount cameras on their car!

Haha someone didn't do their homework in physics class! Shock loading FTW.
-
Then all it needs is for the price to drop.....
Wait for the ban stick... until they can find a way to tax it!

Ahh thought it was a 1.6 corrolla with a T-sport body kit. That engine you have doesn't make good MPG, relatively, but should get better than what you are getting? You driving in the city much? I see what you mean by a 'bike' engine. No wonder you have to sit at the high rpms, no torque in the low rpms worth squat nice high revver though! A screamer, will have to take me for a spin sometime =)

ROFL! I doubt he will be running many more races.
Just because it's funny......
