So i just filled up on gas today and upon starting the car all of a sudden my walbro pump is making a weird chika chika chika type noise. Doesn't sound quite like that, but its hard to describe .The car still runs fine and the afr's are still the same so what is the deal? Is it about to **** out on me? I've had the pump for about 2.5 years.

Chika chika chika?

My friends walboro just went out after making a similar noise

They're cheap enough. I'd just change it to be safe. (or possibly upgrade?)

lol thats the best job i can do to describe it . Maybe i'll try to swap it with a friend's pump or something.

bump anyone else had this problem?

Slowboy!

had that problem not to long ago on a RSX-S turbo. Go ahead and save the headache of it randomly goin out at the mall parking lot. and get it replaced.

you must like to gamble a lot.
just save yourself the headache, and spend the 90 dollars and an hour of your time to replace the pump

This just happened to a friends EVOII last weekend. Same symptoms, eventually the thing started making only 30 PSI of fuel pressure before quitting altogether.

Did his make the sound off and on or all the time? I think its strange mine did it for a day and now it doesnt.

It made the sound, then got quiet for a few sessions. After that it got VERY loud at all times and started dropping pressure.

its kind of like the calm before the storm..... I say just go ahead and replace it so it wont randomly go out and leave you stranded

Im pretty sure its about to die... My friends did the same thing and then started losing pressure.
