Is my fuel pump going out??
Lately on 3 different occasions(all cold starts weather is getting colder too) my car wouldn't start?It would take 3-5+ tries with the ignition off/on. I can hear the fuel pump but,it's like a humming sound.Power everything is on it just won't crank or turn over for the first few tries??...After engine warms up I don't have any problems throughout the day...suggestions?I do have the single click I have read about.Maybe the contacts?Any suggestions on this?
Thanks

it would be very tricky unless you have a lift and are working from underneath.
the way you have to reach from on top to get at it is akward.
its really easy to remove it and will make your life 1000x better.
remember to clean the plunger, no need to replace it.

Sorry about the family, but on a side note a 300 is too damn easy to work on. Iv'e had a few IS3's and a few SC4's and I'd rather rebuild the entire 2jz than swap a starter on the 400 so be thankful and just get it done.
