rear seat is still intact.. the only thing diff on the car is b16.. but it was doing the humming noise on my sohc.. like if it doesnt make that humming noise my car will not start.. kinda weird

 

ide say its on its way out. specially since you can hear it w/ interior in your car. upgrade to a GSR one. prolly find one cheap. If not cheap enough upgrade to a holly one 255lph

 

is it all the time or just when u turn the key to the on postion? THe humming might be it primeing at first but if its all the time then yeah i would say its about to go.

just replace the fuel pump. stock pump shouldn't be that noisy. its easy to replace and relatively cheap.

if you go with a Walbro, it will make a humming noise - possibly loud enough to be heard with full interior. this is completely normal.

You should watch yourself. Flashing your post count can cause you some problems.

Just since we're on the topic of fuel pumps going bad, I thought I'd through out my problem and see what I get back: I have a 96 EK dx with a sir b16 swap in it. right this second it's engine turning, not starting. I checked for spark and I have it. I listened for the fuel pump priming ("whirrr" noise) and it doesn't sound anything like I remember it was supposed to sound. It's more like a clicking noise coming from the passanger seat. Is it more than likely the fuel pump? Any constructive input is greatly appreciated. Thanks
