Fuel Pump/Primer New Sound... Not so good.

[Lizzardmax]

So yesterday when I pressed the ignition button (not started) I hear a growling grinding type sound. Could not think of what it was. Now the sound is continuing but more of a buzzing, I am certain that it is the fuel pump/primer.

The issue is intermittent sometimes sounds fine others not so much. The car drives fine I can?t tell any issues, yet?
Any Ideas?

Warning I do start the car it gets a bit loud there:

fwiw, there's a recall campaign for fuel pumps, check VIN, etc. to see if your vehicle is affected.

Thank you, and I did hear of that. I don't believe our ST's are listed as affected though. I keep checking my vin and I get the same results. Not affected.

Im guessing the sound is verified as less than healthy

IIRC, someone had a fuel pump fail and had it warrantied.

I read the same thing on the site where someone had fuel pump issues and had it warrantied

Silly me! So get this if you're fuel is already primed, and you push the ignition again, the primer pump deal makes a wonky noise.
