fuel pump

 

might be the pump on the abs unit. mine does that.

 

well does anybody knows what it means when the car stops making that noise??
thats the problems i have rite now, the noise completely stopped

 

well if its the fuel pump, you wont be moving. Do u have any CEL codes ?

 

what are CEL codes??

i probably don't since i have no clue what it is

Well here is how it all happened in a nutshell, maybe u know more about cars than me also.
When i first bought my car, it made dat noise, it was pretty loud, and sounded cool too. Then i stored it for winter, and 8 months later i drove it again, and then i noticed that the buzzing noise got quieter. Then i stored it again the next winter, and took it out 8 months later, which was just 5 days ago. and I noticed that the noise is completly gone. What the hell happened??? Wierd Huh?

 

Hey, my car does that... It is the ABS- My ABS light on my dash comes on when that buzzing noise stops... it freaked me out at first, but i went and had it looked at, and come to find out, it is the ABS

 

I have the exact same problem . 98 GSR 90K! Exactly as you describe it?

Is this a problem or should I turn up the radio?

-No cel codes... no abs light

 

its the abs, its perfectly normal, nothing is wrong with your car. it is just performing a self-check during that 1 second.

CEL codes are "Check Engine Light Codes"...the check engine light will flash during a diagnostics test to show what exactly is wrong with your car. these have nothing to do with the abs system. the abs system codes are pulled from the abs light in the gauge cluster. as for the noise coming from the abs unit, you probably just always realize the sound, or it may sound differently to you pending on if you have the windows up or down, etc. there is nothing wrong here, it is just performing a quick 1 second self-check. if your really that freaked out about the abs system, go underneath your glove box. you'll see a green rubber piece. your going to pull the blue connector out that has 2 openings at the end. with the car shut off, slide both ends of an open paperclip in each of these slots. turn the key to the on position and watch the ABS light in the cluster light up. it will perform a series of flashes if something is wrong with the system. refer to this 98-01 ABS diagonostics code article here.

 

Yeah, completely normal for our cars with ABS, initializes and checks your ABS system at the start before you go driving off

have a good day ';p

my "false information" happens to be correct information. The fuel pump does make a "buzzing noise" when the key is in the auxilary position. While his buzzing is probably his ABS, it is NOT limited to his ABS.

its the abs, its perfectly normal, nothing is wrong with your car. it is just performing a self-check during that 1 second.

, and then start to drive away,

Isn't the fuel pump only when you start it up (like in accessory or ignition), but the ABS only when you have gone like 3 or 4 or so feet at some certain speed?

it may make this noise between 4 and 12 mph for a one second period during the first steps of your drive

 

maybe the pwr ant comming up when the radio is on...???

 

thanx for the info everybody, u guys are awesome

but ur missing my point, what i'm trying to say here is that there in NO MORE NOISE coming from the ABS anymore. I'm wondering what could be wrong with it.

Read the 6th entry in this forum for my story of what happened in a nutshell.

 

hmm.. check your reservoir perhaps..?

Ok ive got a similar question, i get the buzzing noise once in a while but it usualy isnt rite after i start the car, i get it at random times and not very ofter, sometimes it will happen while sitting at a red light after ive been driving for half an hour and sometimes ill go a few days without hearing it, does this sound normal?

 

no it doesn't sound normal, like this guy said, this it how it is supposed to be

Im having a problem with my ABS pump. After I start up the buzzing noise comes on, then after i drive maybe 1000 feet, the buzzing is a bit quieter, then after a few hundred feet, it stops and my ABS light comes on. Is this just a pump failure?

 

I have that same thing happen to my car at start up, and when the buzzing stops the ABS light comes on. The brakes work fine but the only thing I notice is when I have my A/C on, my brakes seem to slip a little..meaning I have to press down almost to the floor to stop....is this normal?

 

Jsut to add some input:

I've researched this before and i found out that it is the ABS. And I've heard that is is fixed by bleeding the ABS system....
