If you have less than half a tank of gas and it does this on an incline or 
when you get on it I would suspect the prepump. If you have a Bentley it 
will tell you how to check it. The buzzing noise coming from near the 
battery is normal. This is the frequency valve and it oscillates at a 
certain rate to adjust fuel mixture. HTH
