Thats where the main fuel pump is located. Probably failing. Try giving it
light therapy with a rubber mallet while energized. It my start up and let
you drive to a place to have it replaced. (this worked for me) Replacement
is a DIY job if you have some mechanical skills.
Pump from Groton $150
Pump from OEM or repair shop $350

Or in my case, pump was $8.50 from a junkyard, the downside is I'm not sure
precisely how old it is but I've seen recently replaced ones a couple times.
