Okay, so this is the deal. I thought i had to change the fuel pump in
my 88 lesabre. What was happening was when i tried to start it, it
would crank almost turn over then nothing because it was not getting
gas. So the guy who gave me the car told me its the pump. Anyways
moving on to yesterday afternoon i give her another try and no starting
just cranking. So i jack up the car let her rest on jack stands was
about to get ready to drop the tank so i can get the pump out but then
i realized this thing has half a tank in it. So my buddy who was
helping me had one of those special hoses to take gas out of the tank
so we went to go get we were gone for like half an hour max. We get
back and then just for the hell of it i try and start it and i hear the
pump prime and she starts right up and i was like wtf? so i thought
maybe the elevation of the car had to do with that so i turn it up drop
it back down on 4 wheels and she still starts over and over again. Now
the only thing that is worrying me a bit is that when the car is
running and you are sitting in the car you hear a humming sound. Now is
it normal for the pumps in these cars</span></font> to hum that loud do any of you have the same issue of that ?
