That is the classic Gm fuel pump. You'll have real problems when it stops making noise, that's when it won't pump anymore. Changing the pump will reduce the noise. You never know when that old pump will die.

Constant buzzing motor sound in trunk of 1990 Mustang LX Convertible when car is running

Hi Marc-
The sound you are hearing MAY be the electric fuel pump in the tank that is supplying gasoline to the motor.
It should not be making a noise when normal, but may be needing replacement shortly.
Hope this helps!

I dont hear the buzz from my fuel pump

If it has a fuel pump relay check that first. if the relay is good your fuel pump is probably on the fritz.(bad).

Truck just quit at a redlight intersection today and acts like it has no gas. The gas guage also goes from empty too 1/2 tank too empty too full some times for no apperant reason!!

So do you know if you have gas in your tank or not? You need to check for fuel pressure to make sure your pump is working. Inside you fuel tank is a fuel pump module which consists of your fuel pump and fuel level sender. It sounds like you are going to need to replace that. Can you hear your fuel pump buzzing. Open you gas filler cap and put your ear next to it while having a helper turn the key to the run position not start position. You should hear it run for about 5-10 seconds and then shut off. If you don't hear it you have a problem with your pump. It can be with the wiring, feul pump relay, or the pump itself. It is usually the pump. But even if you can hear the pump you still need to check your fuel pressure as the pump may be buzzing but not working correctly. Also check your fuel filter.

Truck don't start

When you turn the key to the "run" position, listen and see if you can hear a buzzing noise coming from the under the bed. This is your fuel pump buzzing for 2-3 seconds. If it isnt buzzing, you most likely have a faulty fuel pump. If it does buzz, check the fuel pressure. There is a schrader valve on the fuel line under the hood near the back of the intake manifold. You will need a fuel pressure gauge to check the pressure. If it doesnt build 50-60 psi, it will most likely, again, need a fuel pump.

Wont start

turn the ignition to the ON position and check to see if you can hear the fuel pump making a buzzing sound. if it doesnt make a buzzing sound, the the fuel pump isnt working. if the fuel pump sint working, then check the fuse in the fuse box under the hood.
