[V8] Fuel pump buzzing?

[David Head]

The fuel pump in my V8 has snarled off and on for a couple years. I 
replaced it about 50K miles ago, along with a new fuel filter when it 
started acting up. Last week it started acting up again - violent 
buzzing, acting as if it was cutting out. Put a new pump in - it was 
marginally better. Replaced the filter, and it actually got worse. 
Talked with Keith, and he confirmed my idea of replacing the fuel 
pressure regulator. Took one off the parts bin in the garage (!). All is 
now silent...

So if your fuel pump starts really snarling, replace the filter (12.99 - 
one hour) and the FPR (60.00 - 10 minutes) FIRST - before you spend 
192.00 and go tank diving...
