My 84 made that whining noise in the pump, too, so I bought another and it
still did it. The dealer didn't know what was wrong either so they suggested
I put in a new AFM! Turned out the fuel pressure regulator was plugged, and
a new one made it all better. Does your van appear to be running rich at
idle? Good luck, Jake.
