Fuel Pumps can actually make your car slower?! I didnt know that... What are the symtons? How do you know when your fuel pump is bad?? <br /><br />I been having a "POPPING" problem with my car for well over 3 months now.. Everytime i "floor" or hit the gas "hard" my car pops and i wont get any speed gain.. BUT if i take my time and press the gas *nicely* or *slowly* i can feel the power... <br /><br />I asked around.. Some said Spark Plugs./... Replaced ... <br />Some said CLUTCH - maybe <br /><br />Now im guessing maybe Fuel Pump because i drove my car ALOT on "E" before... Now my Fuel Guage Meter goes up SLOW everytime i pump gas.. So can this "popping" be the Fuel Pump? <br /><br />I need to know ASAP! Maybe this can be the problem to that problem... <br /><br />O.K that POPPING souding isnt like POPCORN popping.. Its like throwing a huge ROCK in the WATER.. More of a "thump" sound, and it is indeed very loud.. Can be well heard outside.... <br /><br />Thanx <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>88gt</b> <br /><small>Member # 579</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,8,23,19,44,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Where exactly is the sound coming from though?
