Default Fuel Pump sounds like Dubstep

Normal?

Not Normal?

WOMP WOMP WOMP WOMP

...basically I hear what I think is the fuel pump coming from behind the rear seats when I'm driving my car lately. I just hit 140k, am I due for a new one? Does a fuel pumps death sound like a dubstep track?

i have ~140k on my 96 and it doesnt sound like that, not normal, could be the pump taking a crap. there isnt a maintenance schedule for the pump to know when it NEEDS to be replaced. more or less when your car deosnt run just replace it. have you tested the circuit to see that you are getting proper power and ground to and from the pump? you could also test the pump for resistance and there is a spec in the manual that will tell u weather the pump is bad
