i have a 1994 gxe and yesterday i started hearing a whine under the hood. i thought it sounded like the fuel pump, so i took the cheap "maybe this'll get it" route and changed the fuel filter. the old filter looks rough, to be sure, so regardless, i'm glad i changed it, but if the pump was working hard enough to make that whine, do you think that the changing of the filter will have done the trick or is the damage already done and will i have to shell out for a new fuel pump?
also, i had thought my tranny was slipping a little between 2nd and 3rd or 3rd and 4th, but do you think the shakiness i experienced could have been due to inadequate performance of the fuel pump?
thanks for any help.
Jack
