How do you know when one is going bad?
Mine is making a whinning noise that sounds pretty serious and is continiuos.I thought at first it was bad gas and with any luck maybe still is. It started when I like a dummy got gas at a country gas station, it will bog real bad like it is being smotherd when I try to excell at a fast rate.I ran almost all of that gas out I would say their was lil over a 1\4 tank left and put better gas in it and it got better are so I thought but not near as bad as it was. It comes and goes now.

A restricted filter can cause strain on the pump making it whine. I would change the filter first and if it doesn't go away you're going to need a new pump soon.

The two best ways to check a fuel pump if to measure fuel pressure and fuel volume, you can also measure the pump's amperage draw but I would stick with the first two. There is also a chance that your fuel pump is okay but the strainer that is connected to it is clogged from the dirty gas, this isn't very likely but still a possibility. What really sucks is that on F-Bodies in order to do a fuel pump you gotta drop the gas tank, which means dropping the rear-end and the exhaust, maybe someone knows a way to get around this, most likely with a torch.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I said that there might be a way around this. Cutting an access hole above the fule pump in the car's body, I am an auto tech and this wouldn't even be an option if I was working on a customer's car, my own car that's a different story. When I need to replace mine I wlll probably be cutting a hole as well. Thanks for the links.
