Can be, and can also be a clogged fuel filter. A fuel pressure test will verify this.
you need at least 50 psi to run and 55 or so to keep it running thats with cpi engine the others use less pressure and a different fuel pump....
either your fuel pump is about to go out or you just have a noisy fuel pump but its because it is always pumping fuel when the car is running
As long as the engine is running, the fuel pump is running.
Water in the fuel or a clogged fuel filter can damage a fuel pump. You can also damage a fuel pump by running the pump without fuel in the tank.
The fuel pump runs constantly as long as the engine is running.
Either the fuel filter is clogged or the fuel pump is defective, even if it is a new pump.
You cant bypass a fuel pump. Thats where the gas comes from smartie
No fuel in fuel tank (inaccurate fuel gauge), Fuel pump motor is running but not pumping (pump failure), Plugged solid fuel filter, Pinched or damaged fuel lines,
Is your fuel pump running? Turn the ignition on without starting the engine. You should hear the pump run for a few seconds. If not, then check the fuel pump fuse and relay. If it is running and no fuel, replace the fuel filter. If the fuse and relay are good, and the pump is not running, the pump is bad.
If there is fuel in the tank and it is making it's way to the fuel pump, and the fuel pump will not pump fuel, the pump is obviously defective. Replace the fuel pump with a new one.
YES it is. GM had a problem with the fuel pumps making noise and still does.
Of course if the fuel pump is not running the fuel pump fuse, fuel pump relay, or the pump itself is defective. But the pump can be running and still be not pumping fuel. The only way to know for sure is to run a fuel pressure test. Do not overlook the fuel filter as it may be clogged.
