Fuel pump noisy

[DaveFhlug]

Hi guys,

My fuel pump on my 1980 FI is noisy sometimes. Is this a sign of soon to be failure of the fuel pump?

That has been written, but I have no firsthand knowledge of this.

when they start making noise it's a tell tell sign there on the way out, I replaced my FI pump a few years back
with a Autozone aftermarket replacement it was under a $90 I needed to make an adjustment to my mount
for it to fit. In the end i was happy and saved myself a decent amount of money compared to buying the
bosch FI fuel pump .

it may be noisy due to fuel starvation. Check the inlet hoses to it

[DaveFhlug]

Okay, I will check the inlet hoses and replace the fuel filter. Is the filter before or after the pump?

On FI cars the filter is after the pump as long as a PO has not add one before the pump also.

You can get a replacement pump identical to the OEM for $60, dont pay any more than that.

and where would you find a pump for $60 ?

[redcars]

When I need a pump for my FI 82 last year they where form $35.00-$120.00 at NAPA depending on which one you wanted they had four different ones that would work.

the fuel strainer in the tank may be clogged as well

and where would you find a pump for $60 ?

I got a brand new replacement one from my mechanic for $60.

The thread is about FUEL Pumps. that is a WATER Pump !

The CORRECT Bosch unit IS very Expensive. There are a lot advertised that will do the job, but are not "as it left the factory, new"
