    I think this may be helpful to you. Since you keep mentioning the battery light etc.
    http://www.grandprixforums.net/know-...lls-63491.html

    If your spraying starter fluid at it got it running for a moment, then you are likely not getting fuel. I may have missed you answering if there is fuel pressure at the schrader valve or not. If there is pressure there, look to the fuel injector fuse. If the fuse is good, test for power at the injectors. If you have 12+ at the injectors, then there may be an issue causing the pcm to not turn on the injectors.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    could be a dead fuel pump.

    but it starts sometimes just dies right after. If the fuel pump is dead would it even start at all?

    sounds like its priming and then quitting maybe, you hear the pump when you turn the key to run?

    if your schrader valve has no fuel at all coming out of it, you have a fuel problem for sure, if the tab being bent did nothing, that bypasses the resistor, so that leaves the pump.

    Pin 85 didn't work because Mike never reads what I type. The fuel pump resistor symptoms are starts and dies. Because the fuel pump would prime the cylinders.

    Now in the current case, you aren't getting fuel. So what you need to do is stick your finger on the schrader and tell us if there's any pressure there. If there's no fuel there, then I'll send you to check that the pump has power. If there is fuel there..then it's off to injectors.

    However..since I've already typed this once and it seems to have been ignored. I should probably go grab a beer and watch this thread for the next couple of days. Scotty..pass me a beer will ya buddy.

    Sounds like a fuel pump issue then. If you pull the access panel in the trunk and have someone try to crank it for you while you keep your hand on the fuel pump, you'll feel it vibrate if it is working. Or you can just try installing another one.
