    Default High pitch sound when idling..

    When my car was running and parked, I noticed today as I walked behind it that there is a high pitched sound/squeel coming from somewhere in the rear. You can't hear it when standing at the front of the car. Any ideas?

    If it is more of a high pitched whine it is prob the fuel pump.
