Could be several things, but is your security light flashing? If so, the Passlock is preventing the engine from starting. You would be able to crank it until you kill the battery or burn up the starter, but it will never start. If the light is flashing, leave the key in the on position for ten minutes. The light should stop flashing and the car should stop. If it's not that, have you checked fuses for fuel pump and fuel injectors?

would this car have the switch in the trunk for the fuel pump? and does it have a start mogeler?

I don't think any GMs have a trunk fuel pump switch--I think that's a Ford thing. You'll find fuses for the fuel pump and fuel injectors in the engine compartment electrical box, though.

i belive i found the problem, it looks likes it going to be the fuel pump. does anyone know if there is a free web site that would show how to fix it?
