Sounds to me that the computer on top of the pump took a crap......they are known for the computers going out before anything internal happening.

You can test it by hotwiring the pump, pins six and seven, and cranking the starter. If you get no fuel to the injectors this way, the pump is dead.

I doubt it if it was still pumping, it pumps at a reduced rate while cranking the engine, and that's probably what causes the noise.

That sucks know it is just deciding where the best place to buy one is. There is a tone of places selling them.
