Just since this last weekend, my 914 has been having trouble starting. It turns over and over but doesn't start. Two out of three times trying, I got it to start. The last time I noticed just before it finally started, I heard a buzzing sound come on. Normally I hear this buzzing sound coming from the front of the car when it is running. Is that noise coming from the fuel pump?
I have heard that some people relocate the fuel pump to the front trunk area. If that is the case with my car, would the fuel pump likely be underneath the tank? Just to make it clear. Normally I hear a buzzing noise coming from the front trunk / gas tank area. Recently I have been having trouble starting the car but just before it does the noise appears... which leads me to think it might be the fuel pump. I'm not much of a mechanic. I remember looking for the fuel pump a couple years ago and couldn't find it in the engine bay; this also leads me to believe it is up front somewhere. Thanks in advance. |

Yes, I believe that is a 12 on the wire.
I pushed the flap and it didn't start the fuel pump but it did make a clicking noise every time I pushed the flap open. I think the clicking sound was coming from the relay but it was hard to check by myself so I will have to look at it again when I have someone here to help me. Could this be a sign that it is something after the relay? Either the wiring to the fuel pump or the fuel pump itself? This weekend I'll spend some more time trying to figure it out. I still don't know where the fuel pump is exactly. Thanks again Dave, I really appreciate the help! |
