The reason the whining stops is because the pump isn't working as hard after the idle comes down. Notice in the video that as he revs the engine again the same whine comes back.
94redZee, after you car sits for a while (like in the morning) try turning your key to the "on" position, but do not start the car. The same type of whine should still be heard, but see if it will stop before you try starting the engine. The fuel pump is pressurizing the fuel lines at start up, once the whine has stopped, start the car. Does the whine come back? If it does (and my bet is that it will based on your video), then your fuel pump probably doesn't have a lot of time left in it.I was told once (and I'm not sure by whom) that if you turn the key to the on position and wait for the hum of the fuel pump to stop before starting the car, that this is one way to help prolong fuel pump life. (Has anyone else heard this?) I do this every time, and my fuel pump started humming 5 years ago.
