You need to inspect the fuel pump and bench test it in a fuel container be extra cautious doing it

Thank You for your time--do you mean that even though i can hear it coming on that it would be no good? Im going to take it out and test it in a bucket of water-Its safer than messing with gas and I just have to make sure i get all the water out if its working.Thanks again---RM

-do you mean that even though i can hear it coming on that it would be no good? If its coming on and its not pushing fuel its no good manufacturer defects-

OK now i've heard it all--went to take out the fuel pump but it started raining--I opened the drivers side door and I heard the fuel pump "whinning"-No keys in the ignition.opened it again and nothing,waited 15 minutes and it did it again.Can someone shoot me please. RM
