Hello. A whining sound coming from the engine in a no start condition is usually a sign of a loss of compression. A compression test must be done to determin if that is your case.A loss of compression may be from the engine being bad or a spark plug being loose. You may want to have the plugs checked being someone just changed them. On your particular vehicle stalling conditions are usually related to a bad ignition module, a faulty mass air flow sensor, or a faulty throttle position sensor. The issues your vehicle is having should register a check engine light inside of the engine control module. I suggest you have a technician inspect your vehicle for the things I’ve mentioned as well as run a scan on your engine control module to see if there are any codes present.
