For the last couple of years, my car has occasionally made a funny, low-pitched whine noise eminating from the back of the car. It only happens every 5 months or so. The sound only last 10-15 mins. and at times, seems to change pitch when I hit the brake pedal. There have been no other problems until now, when I lost power at a stop light. It started back up and down the road lost power again, but went when I floored it. When I got home I heard that sound, which got higher pitched until it died, starved of gas possibly. I started it back up, and same thing - the whine gets higher then the car dies. A few hours later I started it up and it ran fine, with no unusual sounds.
I think the fuel pump is going out, but it has been making this sound on and off for years.
I can't get a mechanic to look at it because it always clears up by the time I get to the shop.
Any ideas??
