Guys, just installed a new fuel pump in my 94 EX and it now runs great. BUT, the inside noise it makes is not acceptable. Did I buy the wrong aftermarket pump or is any aftermarket pump the problem. I can hear it over most all road noises , and if the radio is not on, I don't think I could drive it more than a few miles at a the time.......anybody else have one of these.......

 

walboro?

 

if it walboro get use to it or put sound deadning

 

My Walbro is loud but it isn't THAT loud. Sounds like you're over exaggerating.

 

TURN UP THE MUSIC!

 

I will recheck on the namebrand when I get home. Sorry but this noise will NOT due. I shall pull an old used one at the salvage yard and put it in before I live with this critter. Thanks, just hoping I got the wrong aftermarket pump........

 

lol...
I'd like to see a video of the noise this beast is making.

 

lol i know its not THAT loud but if you turn off the music and listen it get mad annoying.

 

Checked the box and the pump is from Airtex......a company in Illinois. Prolly made in China. ef9 is correct, with the stereo off, the consant buzzing is maddening. It sounds like the noise is coming from the engine, not under the rear seat. Will have to do something...

 

Walbro isn't that loud.

 

Yes I've put in Airtex fuel pumps in my 93 del sol and they are loud especially in a del sol because you are sitting right next to it. Got mine at Autozone and I think they are a cheap line product. One thought is if the fuel pump is drawing a little too much current it may be working harder and sounding a little louder. Maybe the main relay's solder joints are weak and you're getting too much current to the pump which could burn out a pump prematurely. Maybe check fuel pressure to see if it's too high? Maybe the pump is working too hard.

 

Naw, i've sold the Airtex before and they are all like that. Louder than walboro for sure.

 

Thanks for the input, now we know what pump NOT to start with.......
