I have a whining noise coming from under the back of my 96 xj. Any ideas what it can be?

Without being able to hear it I'd say its probably the fuel pump. If you turn the key to "on" (don't start it) you should hear the whining noise. It will come on and then stop. Once you start the car, it should start again.

Sound is hard to pinpoint. What's normal? How loud is too loud?
