Fuel pump made a funny noise, then no start 200 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be pittroj on  Mon Mar 11 07:07 CST 2019 [RELATED]

The car has WAY over 200k miles on it but like many of the old 240's, the odometer quit working long ago. I figure it has closer to 400k. The fuel pump has no undercoat on it. This was a california car, and then spent 8 years in Columbus, Ohio where the salt rusted the heck out of it. It is the rustiest 240 that I have seen (underbody is soo rusty) and the fuel pump/filter are of course super rusted looking (I know that the pump is aluminum).

It started and I drove it home with no issues. I will try the jumper trick at the fuses to see if it does it again. I have driven 240's for 40 years, and have never had to replace a fuel pump. I had some kroil at work and got up under it and sprayed the bolts down so when I do pull it, it may be easier to get the rusty bolts to break. Yes, I always carry a fuel pump relay, an AMM, and the ignition module that bolts to the drivers inner fender. Thanks guys!
