Going about 20 the car makes some kind of chugging water sound when im accelerating. If I let off the gas and then press back on it the sound will go away and then accelerate fine. checked trans fluid and it is fine. sounds like its coming from the right side or middle of car. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just got fuel pump replaced and now the car wont hold anything above a half a tank. 1992 grand marquise.

At least the engine before the 4.6 used a hidden flow restrictor which is just a short piece of metal with a smaller hole than the hose on inlet side to slow the flow and if that hose was replaced and this had that, that can cause the noise without it. You can feel if it's there squeezing the hose commonly used on cars with the temp delay for fan and in the hose from that unit on way to heater core if it had one at all? It could also be low coolant level and air making sounds - hard to say for sure with either so you have to check. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is the fuel not filling the tank really not full or just not reading full? I know that's hard to tell. These cars in general when reading 1/2 actually have less than half the total capacity usually. If you just had a shop do the fuel pump you should be discussing it with them as it might be the sender or perhaps a vent back to fuel neck isn't good fooling the pumps to click off early and constantly??

They said I needed a new fuel pump, but as I stated I just got that one put in. Is there anyway that they could have sealed it instead of replacing it?

If not why not? Am I reading something wrong? If fuel pump was leaking it would be inside the tank and unseen IMO. If you see a leak or smell gas then that has to be fixed. That could be (if so) rusted tank, hoses, fuel neck and seal etc. Basic pic of a fuel gauge where pump would go in - not your car just for the idea........ There's a ring that when turned releases the unit gauge and pump and when installed fastens it with a rubber seal. You wouldn't just go in there and try to seal a fuel pump??!! I've never heard of something like that. Either they replaced it or didn't. If you paid for a new pump you should have a good, new working pump, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
