Am I seeing a sign of impending fuel pump death (Regina single pump)? 900 1993

Did you try switching on the car first (position II)without cranking? the fuel pump works for 2 seconds and stops each time, do this twice or 3 times and then start the car. If it starts fine doing this then it's the pump.

Also check the fuel pump relay, behind the ash tray, big white box, second row to the left side, put your left hand fingers on it and move the key to pos.II, you should feel the internal contacts clicking.

Regina uses only one in-tank pump, be careful when you buy it because they can give you the wrong one. It doesn't come with a strainer (filter.

Also, the original pump has it's embedded fuel check valve, don't know why the aftermarket pump lets the fuel return back to the tank and it'll be hard to start after a few hours unless you add a check valve in the system.

Replacing the pump is tricky but doable.
