welcome to the board.

start simple. make sure the battery is fully charged. confirm compression, fuel supply and spark. you may want to also try some new plugs. maybe get a can of Seafoam, too.

buzzing from the alternator???

boostup

not exactly from the altanator more like the manifold injectors area behind the altanator ??? do you know wat the buzzing is?? maybe old gas?

That may be the the sound of the BAC idle speed control if it is sticky it sounds like a pair of hair clippers, very quite ones.
