[Shotimes] Re: Fuel pump

[fwhittle@mindspring.com]

Mine started doing something similar while I was at the convention in Madison.  It was a few months after I replaced the fuel pump.  Makes the moaning/gurgling sound when I turn the key on, lasts for a few seconds.  If I turn the key off and on again, it repeats.  It does it when the car is warm but has been sitting for more than about 10 minutes.  I was told basically that I don't need to worry about it til I replace the pump again.  I think it has to do with the drainback valve, which is in the assembly that the pump attatches to.  

Question for everyone:  If you get the replacement pump from Ford, does it come with the whole assembly?  The Walbro pump comes as just the pump.  Can I get just the other part by itself from Ford, or only with the pump?

Yeah, its a new sound, I suspect it is doing the same thing as yours was.
At least it lasted awhile before it died; maybe I can get a couple more
months until I get a chance to change it.
