ive had past problems with my car not starting up as smoothly as it should've and sometimes when i do ive heard my car make a high pitch ring type noise coming from the back of my car then it would just shut off..one person told me it sounded like it was the fuel pump going out, nobody has really heard of what im talking about. can anyone help me out?

i have an 86 and i hear the ring too i turn the key on and let the fuel pump prime it self then start the car if its getting louder then i would definetly replace the fuel pump

If there is a ring noise in the back of the car the fuel pump is going out I would replace it asap because it will do to you like one of mine did and leave you stranded when you dont need it too

Plus if you have had problems with it starting then I would deffinitly replace
