So I was coming back home today and had driven about 3 hours or so. Pulled off the interstate and heard a squeal or whine - almost like a turbocharger in a diesel truck. Thought the noise was in the engine bay but when I got home I got out of the KJ while it was running and heard the noise at the fuel tank. It's steady and didn't change with RPM's.
Next I turned the engine off then turned the key to ACC. The noise was there for just a couple of seconds then stopped like the fuel pump priming. If I started the engine the noise would continue.
Given the symptoms is it the fuel pump? Any other ideas?
On this trip I noticed some 'sluggishness' when I stomped it to get on the highway or holding the throttle steady climbing hills. Didn't seem to be an electrical issue - was thinking it wasn't getting quite enough fuel. No codes so far but I sure don't want to have pull the fuel module...
