Default Fuel pump question

Hey guys or gals my fuel pump is making that humming noise when I shut the car off and it never did that before. I know that just before you turn the key to start the car it makes that humming sound for like 3 seconds but mine does it when you turn the key off for like 3 seconds. Any ideas? It seems to be running fine with a little hesitation now and again but other than that it runs good. Thanxs for any help you can give me

Pumps probably gettin ready to go **** up on ya. She's been around a long time. She's tired of doing all the work. Probably time to retire her and get a new hottie in your life. One who's got some good suckin and blowin power. 190lph is a good choice if you plan on waking that little motor up or just let it stay stock or close to it.

+1

reach under your seat and find it. then kneeling outside the car with your head down low close to the relay turn your car off and listen for the click. If it click delayed, you need a new one.

If you slide the seat back its not that hard. But yea my arms hang down to my knee's....

Start with your relay before you drop the tank, and if do drop it, make sure there next to no gas in there.
