Default Noisy fuel pump?

I seem to be getting some noise from my fuel pump, like a low-pitched groan that I didn't used to hear. I can hear it for a second or two when turning the key before starting (pressurizing the fuel line) and then when sitting at idle I can hear it humming from the back. I used to be able to hear the fuel pump faintly before starting but it is much noisier now.

Anyone else ever experience this? Is it a warning sign of a pump ready to quit? Is the fuel pump easily replaced? I did a quick google search and it looks like they go for around $200 (more than I would have thought but that usually is the case with this car).

Default You work too cheap. Hold out for Trapist Ale (Chimay) or a good Dunkel. Not that Coors crap

Default Rich, I have a new one, and I'd be happy to sell it to ya on the inexpensive side...

It won't do me any good anymore.


Assuming, of course, that it's the problem.
