I read it could be the ignition coil making that noise, but the sound isn't coming from anywhere near it. I'm going to unbolt the oil pan and go fishing with mechanical fingers and a magnet. Sometimes she dies after running for five minutes or so. Does the engine shut off if there is a blockage to the oil pump? The oil light has never illuminated.
