hi all had a strange one happen to me today

 

i drive to work stopped outside my work with the engine running for a couple of minutes,when i switched the engine off i could here what i assume was the fuel pump buzzing! after about 20 seconds it stopped but started again for another 20 odd sec's ...this went on for about 5-10 minutes :confused:

i know the pump primes when you go to start the engine but why did it pulse like this after i stopped.

 

it didn't happen when i returned home this evening

 

cheers

gaz

i thought my pump was making a buzzing noise the other day but when in got out of thge car i realised it was the fan kicking in cause my car was over heating (knackered rad)

 

maybe worth checking

Would it be stuck relay ???? or along those lines but there is a series of them round the car so thats about as far as i can help sorry

could be..... i disconnected the ones behind the passengers seat and the pump kept going :D

When maxsunny had fuel pump prob at Jae Ryan sed that it creates a circuit all the way back to the pump or summat like that so it wasnt just a case of one relay if you know what i mean ????? oh and he was lookin rhside front footwell at front and under bonnet as well as in the boot so i dunno

cheers buddy. its strange as it didn't do it tonight when i got home so im hoping it was just a one off glitch ect

 

if not i will investigate it further

bump just wondering if anybody else has had this same problem

theres also a relay inside the rear qtr on a 2+2 but me thinks it will be in a differant location ona shortie

just keep an eye on it normally the problem will be permanant buzzing whilst car is running when there is a problem

if that is the bulue one behind the passenger seat on a shorty near the fuel pump ecu i disconnected that and it still done it lol.

hasen't done it since so just probably having a funny 5 mins lol

its just i read a few threads on fuel pumps but there was no mention of this on off type of buzzing ...
