Hey folks,

My 1.9 fuel pump's been buzzing for about 9 months now. I just replaced the
white box filter and cleaned up the contacts and ground, which made it worse
if anything. Two questions:

1. Is this a sign of impending failure for the pump? Or will they just go on
and on like this? We're planning a trip to Death Valley and fuel pumps are
hard to come by in those parts.

2. I've heard of a lot of people replacing the pump only to have it make the
same sound. That tells me it's something else--fuel tank crud, pressure
regulator, or? How can you make sure the pump is the real problem?

Bottom line, I don't want to spring for a new pump if I don't have to, or if
the problem is the regulator or tank.

Thanks for advice--
