| i own a 1997 escort with 4 doors . and manual shift .
my question is about my fuel pump .
quite frequently the fuel pump in my car developes a rather annoying hum.
at times it can be loud enough to be heard from outside the car . the car runs fine . no loss of power . is this noise common , should i consider changing the pump if so where can i find printed instructions on how to change the pump?
any help would be appreciated .

Ford has had loud fuel pumps for many years. I myself wouldn't worry
about it until it goes because a lot of replacement pumps are probably
worse than what you have in there now. Unless, of course, that it is
extremely loud.
The replacement part involves taking off the gas tank, replacing the
fuel pump and then reinstalling the tank back on your car. |

It is NOT necessary to remove the fuel tank in order to change the
fuel pump !!! Who told you that removal of the fuel pump is
required ?? >> Stay informed about: 1997 ford escort |

Quite right. It's under the back seat...

My 97 Escort also has a really loud whine that's audible when you stand
behind
the running car, but it's perfectly quiet when you're inside. I would let it
go until it shows signs of failing (low fuel pressure). >> Stay informed about: 1997 ford escort |
