Noise in the fuel pump of a Pontiac Grand Prix LE?

A whining noise from the fuel pump indicates that your fuel pump is close to failing. You should replace your fuel pump to avoid being stranded or unable to start your vehicle. All fuel pumps will emit a humming noise, but if you can hear it from inside the car, replace your fuel pump in time.


Why is new fuel pump making a humming noise?

Electric fuel pumps can be expected to make a humming noise because they have an electric motor inside them. Excessively loud humming can predict impending failure.

A trusted technician would really be a good resource for you...a good tech can tell a lot from the sound.
