Re: cutting out - Me too

["Patrick Bureau" <patricdlc@hotmail.com>]

does the buzz of the fuel pump supposed to be heard on a 8v ? as mine is 
quiet (no noise) ...wondering if mine is on its way out (I do have some 
gremlin cold start problem, still have to change the cheapest parts first 
(return valve on fuel pump) before tackling fuel pumps and pressure unit on 
block..

the main fuel pump should buzz for about 2 seconds when the ignition is
switched on and then be quite,  this for a 16V.  if it doesnt then it is bad
and if continues to make noise it is probably on its way out.  you could
also measure the fuel pressure or have a shop measue it to confirm that the
fuel pump is bad
