A little back story first to make sure I pre-answer some possible questions...
I bought my 88 XJ in November, prior to purchase it had sat in the same spot since october of 2006:headshake: When I purchased it it would not start. Towed it to the house and since have replaced the Plugs, wires, Cap, rotor, fuel pump (twice) and the air filter. I finally got it up and running and as said in a previous post stole the plate off my van and drove it to the gas station. The trip was smooth and uneventful. On the way back however I started getting a strange humming/whining noise coming from the rear. First thought was great something wrong with the gears... Pulled into the driveway and stopped the noise was still present... assuming not the gears. Got out and walked to the back and put my hand on the gas tank thinking the (2nd) new pump i just finished installing was making a noise... I could feel a vibe on the tank, so I turned off the jeep and turned the key back into the on position and couldnt hear anything but the mild hum of the pump.... started it again and it returned.... I cant see any possible exhaust leaks.... any thoughts???
