lmfao that is totally normal, in the #2 key position correct?

that is the fuel pump primeing haha. it if is loud i suggest buying another fuel pump and keeping it in the car. then since yours is going out, when it does die, you can replace it

my car did this exact same thing last year, after the loud noise started my fuel pump lasted about a month before it wouldnt start.

fuel pump primes for about one entire second when you turn your key to position two.
the main relay only clicks, nothing more, no sound longer. so no it isnt your main relay.

no if your car isnt starting and its silent, then its probably a main relay not clicking on.

ive been through fuel pump and main relay swaps about 3 times, and its the same sounds everytime. fuel pumps do sound sorta loud when they are dying, some times higher pitch then others. it doesnt have to be the exact same sound that you had last time. but if it is the problem when you turn the key to #2 and it lasts for about an entire second, it is the fuel pump whether or not you want to accept it lol.

accept what? im saying that the sound goes away when my brother moves sum wires around that are located right next to the dizzy, and if he takes his hand off the wires then the noise will start again, im not saying its not the fuel pump, the damn car has 229k on it, im just saying the noise comes from whatever these wires blah blah blah, just went brain dead my bad.

sounds like the main relay...or it sounds like you have a loose ground wire. check and make sure all your grounds are tight

No, I would have to assume that it is his brother. The reason behind my assumption is that the grammar and typing skills are much better than the original. This suggests it is two different people, or he is schizophrenic.

Heh... I don't pay attention to the threads I post to on this site. I don't even know who you are or why you dislike me (nor do I care). I don't remember half of the people I get into spats with. So I will try and remember who you are; BUT you should return the favor and do not post in or read any threads that I am apart of. My intelligence is probably too much for you to handle. When I am not making kids cry, I post extremely useful information. I do after all PWN it.
