    Hey everyone having a bad weekend here in Northern Canada. Went Christmas shopping yesterday in my GMC Suburban and the fuel pump let go no problem tow it home cause I have a Grand Prix GT sitting in the driveway as a backup.. lol This car has always run flawless for me however the battery was dead. Real dead. so here is my story and what happened point for point.

    -charged battery car started ran smooth as a purring kitten Drove one block to go get fuel and it dies.
    -Added fresh fuel car has been sitting for a few months car will turn over but not stay running just sputters and dies.
    -can clearly hear fuel pump charging the fuel system. Pushed it back to the driveway left it on charge all night
    -Went to start this morning again ran like a charm no problem but within 5 minutes it died.
    -Won't start again just sputters and dies
    -I changed the battery for a known good battery and tried to start the car but it would not. This would also rule out resetting the computer as when the battery was disconnected it was for more then 10 minutes which would reset everything.
    -Pulled mass air flow sensor connector car started ran good for a minute or two then began to run rough. Couldn't keep it running without giving it fuel and eventually it didn't want to run and died.
    -Plugged it back in and have again had a series of no starts..

    What up? lol
