how many miles are on the car? i noticed that when the car is running and the fuel pump is louder then normal it is a good sign that is on it way out. but i wouldnt really worry to much about it.

Re: Noise from the fuel pump

i just rolled a 100,000 on it yesturday then it started making the noise

Now with that fuel pump does that just replace the orignal one in the tank or how does that work and is it supost to help with performance not to sound stupid

It's time for the trap door...your fuel pump is singing its last song. R&R before she leaves you stranded.

Trap door mod...2 hours to R&R. Most of that 2 hours is removing the panels and carpet for prep and cutting the door.

Re: Noise from the fuel pump

my dad's 02' impala has had two fuel pumps that have made the humming noise

they said that there have been a lot of complaints about that.. im not sure if they are the same pump though.

also, try replacing your fuel filter first, it may be pretty bad and is making the pump work extra hard

the car has 90k on it

the first one made the noise, and he took it back during warrenty, at about 40k miles, they replaced the fuel pump, regulator, and the filter

the new pump didnt make the noise, then started to, but my dad just delt with it, it did seem to only make it while it was warm out though

it made the noise for two summers, and hasnt made it yet this summer

also a few months ago, i heard a humming noise from the pump in my 98' but it only did it for a day and hasnt come back since, and after about 3000 miles

I have also noticed this noise just a couple of times. My car has about 27,000, but the noise only happens when it is hot and I have been driving it for a while on a low tank of gas. I usually try my best to keep the tank over 1/4 full. I do not think the pump is faulty, since it is still fairly new, but the factors I listed most likely cause it to overheat and hum.

Re: Noise from the fuel pump

yeah i had been driveing for about an hr and a half and it was almost a full tank of gas but it was in the 90's here yesturday so that might have been it
