- I have an 87 Mercury Sable with 3.0L V6 with 65,000 miles.
- A couple of weeks ago the fuel pump started making
- a loud humming noise. It is nearly constant at all speeds.
- I have three theories:
-
- 1. The pump is going bad and needs replacing.
- 2. The fuel filter needs replacing.
- 3. Something has come loose such as a bracket,
- insulation, etc.
-
- Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?
-
- Also, the paint on the hood (but no where else) is starting
- to look like it was buffed with steel wool. When you look
- at an angle you can see large areas running front to back
- that look bad.
-
- Any ideas or suggests?
-
- Thanks
