Poor diagnosis on my part!

Turns out nothing is wrong with the fuel pump.

I found out later that the noise WAS ONLY when I was moving...not like I previously mentioned.

At first I thought a rock got into my brakes but the noise didn't really change when I applied the brakes/e-brake.

Took the wheel off and found that one brake bad had worn almost to the metal! It was the screecher causing the noise plus my brakes were dragging.

Long story short, I replaced the rear pads with OEM's w/shims like it's supposed to have. No more noise. Tire wore a bit unevenly as well. (getting AVS db S2's anyway)

I recommend everyone check their calipers at least once a year and clean/lubricate the guide pins.
