Fuel pump issues perhaps?

[paul_skidmore5]

Hi there, I have a 1996 gtb that is misbehaving some what... The car starts up fine but under acceleration it doesn't seem to be getting up and going and feels like it wants to stall (almost the same as an airflow meter issue). the car hasn't been fired up in about 4 months, took it for a warrant yesterday and went fine (flew through) but today making quite a loud whirring noise from where the gas tank is which can't be a good sign. No warning lights on the dash. Should I start with the fuel pump and go from there or are there and easy checks I can do before I start handing over the wads of cash that I am sure will cost to fix this issue.

Cheers.

Paul

A walbro should cost you less than $150 and pretty easy to swap over. A new genuine pump will cost twice that.

you could put a fuel pressure gauge on to confirm its the pump.

a mechanic will have a remote mount one they use for testing

Sounds like it could be fuel pump if you can here a distinct whining from the tank area. You should be able to hear the stock pump at all.

Like stoff said, replace with a walbro (direct replacment pretty much).

If that doesnt change shit i would be looking at plugs and leads

It actually the same sound as you hear when you listen to a lawn mower from a distance. Where is the best place to get a Walbro pump from (I am currently in the Hawkes Bay).

Thanks for every ones help
