A push rod if it's mechanical, electricity if not.
The fuel pump is in the fuel tank.
No, your engine is not equipped to drive a mechanical fuel pump. You must use an electric fuel pump. The fuel pump is mounted on top and inside the fuel tank.
Drive it
1987 was major design change year for the Corolla, and the fuel pump if you have a rear wheel drive with a 1.3 or 1.6Liter engine it has a mechanical fuel pump on the engine block, but in May 1987 Corolla went to front wheel drive and some Corollas, depending on the Trim, got the new 1ZZ FE 1.8Liter (same engine used in Corollas until 2012) multi port fuel injection engine and has a electric fuel pump inside the gas tank. If you had asked "where is the fuel pump on a "1986" or "1988" the answer is easy, but the 5th generation manufactured before May 1987 has the mechanical fuel pump. That is the same year Toyota Corolla went to Front wheel drive. The best way to tell is if your car is Rear wheel drive and a carburetor it has a mechanical fuel pump, and if it is Front wheel drive and Fuel injection it has an electric fuel pump inside the gas tank.
MINE IS 4-WHEEL DRIVE AND IT'S IN THE FUEL TANK
Your fuel pump should ALWAYS run while you drive, because it's electric and if the fuel pump wasn't running the gas wouldn't move through the car.
There are many ways to drive the fuel pump. Some are electrically driven, some are mechanically driven.
which fuel pump the engine mounted or the one in the tank?
In the fuel tank.
there is a panel in the rear of the car under the back seats that can be removed and you can remove the fuel pump from there. No. If it's an All Wheel Drive, you'll access the fuel pump through a panel near the spare tire in the rear of the car. If its a two wheel drive you'll access the fuel pump on the actual fuel tank underneath the car near the rear axle.
