Fuel Pump Making noise

[240Knightrider]

My fuel pump has been making a noise lately. Kinda like a (theres power to it noise-if that makes sense) not it filling up though....

It does it and continues for a little bit after I shut the car off. It does go away, but its getting louder.

My first guess being its going bad..and I more than likely just need to replace it.What do you guys think

Thanks!

Yup. The increasing audible noise is characteristic of a pump on it's way out.

Just buy a Walbro 255 for $80 and put it in there. Then, you already have a high flow upgraded pump for future mods that might warrant the extra flow.

Cool, thanks for the confirm

Crazy how its still cheaper than the ones at parts stores for OEM

wont a walbro 255 overpower the stock fpr causing a rich condition in the engine? just wondering

Yes, mine has been making the noise for 2 weeks. I am also interested in finding out if the high flow pump will cause my black smoker to be worse.

Shouldn't cause an issue, since the system is not a "deadhead" system (meaning whatever fuel is not sprayed through the injectors is recirculated to the fuel tank).

However, some Hondas with recirculating systems have been known to suffer a rich condition when running a high flow pump, as opposed to stock. I suspect a failing FPR (maybe a pinhole in the diaphragm) is the cause. I hardly see how the higher flow capability would pose a threat.

Anyone else with solid data on this subject, rather than my speculation?

I just searched it

Some have had problems.

Most convincing was the guy that said he didnt have any problems and still doesnt three years later.

I think it just does depend on FPR and its condition/

my teacher said if the fuel pump is that noisey, its about to die! dum dum dum.

is your car hard to start?

[240Knightrider]

No its not hard to start, its been doing it for about a month now.

ive also been told about the relay maybe going bad...
