How you know when the fuil pump is bad on 2002 Mazda tribute?

There are a few signs that may indicate that the fuel pump in your 2002 Mazda Tribute is bad. These include:

1. Difficulty starting the vehicle: If the fuel pump is not able to deliver enough fuel to the engine, the vehicle may be difficult to start or may not start at all.

2. Engine stalling: If the fuel pump fails completely, the engine will stall while driving.

3. Reduced fuel pressure: You can check the fuel pressure using a fuel pressure gauge. If the fuel pressure is below the recommended level, the fuel pump may be failing.

4. Noisy fuel pump: A noisy fuel pump may be a sign that it is failing. The fuel pump is located under the vehicle, near the gas tank. If you hear a loud whining or humming noise coming from this area, the fuel pump may be the cause.

5. Check Engine Light: If the fuel pump is failing, the Check Engine Light may illuminate on your dashboard.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to determine if the fuel pump is bad and needs to be replaced.
