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.
