RE: cutting out - Me too

["Fry, Larry" <LEF@chem-tronics.com>]

My fuel pump (both the old one and the new one) whines for about 2 seconds
when the ignition is turned on.  After that, it is silent....except when it
was ready to fail, when it whined all the time.  Even when the old one was
ready to fail, I didn't experience any hesitation - just the constant whine.
HTH.

I've got the same problem on both cars 83 8V, 88 16V- cutting out meaning 
hesitation under load or at higher speeds (80mph + or 3500-4000 RPM +).. 
herky jerky kinda.

Is the fuelpump on the 16V generally noisy? Especially when you turn on the 
ignition?

Judging from the other remarks I should take a closer look at both the 
filter and pump correct? What are, if any, the signs of a fuel pump failure?
