[s-cars] Fuel pump noise?

[Nick Stuart]

Heh...well whatta ya know, my problem went away too. Some thoughts
were that moisture could have gotten in there and condensed some. The
car was sitting for just about a year before I had it. Well, go figure
that I'm not the only one with th problem, or lack of a problem at the
moment.

I made sure I parked in the sun when I got to work, went out and
started it for about 5 mins and the noise went away.
