FUEL PUMP NOISE (WHIZZING) then die...
Hi all, maybe u can help me. About a month ago, i noted a whizzing in my car when it is turned on, around the trunk. Yesterday i was driving my car and driving becomes rough and i lost force. In a hilly highway i had to stop my car because a slowly truck. When i pass to first, my car stops like it was without gas. I noted that the noise you can hear when you open the key, no sounds more. Any idea. Advanced thanks, and a happy new year.

Hearing your pumps hizzing is a good thing.
"no sounds more" probably means they have gone bad.

Sounds like the fuel pump is/has died. If the fuel filter is blocked/clogged, it will labor the pump, making it work harder. That will also make it louder or make more noise, a whizzing or whinning noise.
