Do you have a fuel pressure gauge?

I'd be curious to see if the fuel system is holding pressure.

Any fuel system mods?

No I don't have a gauge, or anything done to the fuel system, one thing I forgot to mention is that there seems to be a high pitched whine coming from either inside the fuel tank, or very close to the tank... Not sure what to think of this I don't know if its the pump making a fuss or not.

Need to put a gauge on it to know if it's holding proper pressure when having troubles.

Is the noise constant or do you only notice it while driving?

Recent switch to E10/E20 fuel?

no fuel switch, also the noise starts after the car has been driven for a while (more than 30 minutes) when the noise starts it remains constant, park and cut the car off, then cut it back on sometimes it keeps making the noise sometimes it stops.

Have you replaced the fuel filter lately? If you have not might be a good time to do it and it's a cheap potential problem to eliminate. Sounds like you have a fuel pressure problem. Could be a lot of things. Like people are saying put a guage to it.
