Here's the story....I had just gotten home from the gas station which was about a 30 min drive from work to the gas station and home, i turned off my car and came inside and had dinner. When i was getting ready to leave i started the car as normal but there was a humming sound that caught my attention and then i noticed that my air fuel ratio was at about 13.5 when its usually at around 12.3. The next thing that i noticed was that the red lights in the oil pressure and engine temp were both on but the temp was lower than normal running temp and oil pressure was a little less than 60psi. The two red lights eventually faded out but when i touched the gas they both came on again at the same time and then began to fade away like before and i could still hear the humming. At first i thought that the humming was comeing from the engine compartment but then when the humming quited down a little, it sounded as if it were comeing from behind the drivers seat. So i'm a little confused and frustraited with the problem. I just figured i would wait until tomorrow when its light to investigate more. If anyone has any idea whats going on or where i could begin looking for the problem that would be great. Thanks

What are you reading the A/F ratio from? If it's just one of those Auto Meter or J&S gauges running off of the stock O2 sensor than forget about it. They're just pretty light shows. As far as the sound, did it sound like a fuel pump or what else? Need a few more details please.

I have a wideband A/F displaying in large numbers right infront of my stock tach. As for the sound, i have no idea what the sound was. Thats what i'm trying to figure out right now. I glanced under the car and under the engine more on the drivers side on the back of the underbody it looks like it has oil on it or something. What sound does it make when you blow an oil line or something like that or is that even a possibility? I'm more troubled by the lights in the gauges i mentioned.

Did you check your oil and coolant levels?

Are you using the stock fuel pump or an aftermarket one?

The stock fuel pump, which i really do need to upgrade. But do you think thats the problem? what usually happens when your fuel pump goes bad?

This morning when i started my car: the car starts up fine but then when the rpms start to come down after start up, you can hear a whinning that seems to be slowing the engine down until it stalls. Maybe a stuck cloed injector? im having it towed up to the shop on monday morning. If anyone has any idea what the problem could be, it would help speed up the process.

hmmmmmm could be an injector. I dont know why it would make a noise. I would doubt the fuel pump if it starts and runs.

I dunno im puzzled by the whole thing sense it apparently broke during the 20 min while i at dinner and tried to leave again. It was running fine on the way home with no problems out of the ordinary. My car has been running extremly rich lately though. What kind of problems could running rich cause that sounds anything like this problem im having? And it had to happen on a friday so i can't have it towed to the shop till monday.
