    Obviously, something isn't right. I think its fuel related because when I took the key out and just jumped the RPM relay the same noise happened. All vacuum lines were checked and secure.
    Sounds like your fuel plunger is stuck (Frozen fuel distributor piston) which will load your cylinders up with fuel. If this is the case you will foul your spark plugs quickly. If by chance it starts you will fry your catalytic converter quickly as well. This is something you should check before trying to start it. How old is the fuel in the tank?

    BTW the noise is the sound of your squealing injectors dumping raw fuel into your cylinders at a "full throttle" clip....not good for your engine to say the least. When you fix it you will need to change the oil and filter as well.
