Hello. Well.....
I have a 2000 grand am gt 3.4L V6.
And it died once after I had an alarm system installed.
I had it fixed, drove it for a day, then it died again.
I had it fixed again, and again, and again, and it keeps dying.
The parts they replace were the fuel pump relay, all ignition coils, ignition module, and i think thats it.
Anybody have any clue whats wrong with it??
Thanks guys!

check your battery connections and see if they're tightly fastened to the battery...

it died while i was drivin today.
the rpm's dropped really low, but not all the way off, all the electical stuff was still turned on. i pulled into a parking lot and it died. and i tried to start it up again and it turns over and sputters, but thats all it does.

Does it make any difference how much electrical stuff is on in the car, like how long it will run. How is the car charging?

i have no idea. but i did have a radar detector, and a 2000watt amp.
but i took those things off after it died the first time. and it still dies.

That one is kinda tough without being able to see the car in person. It could be a charging issue, or just a connection. The best thing to do would be to monitor the car one system at a time. I would start with the charging first, get the alternator and battery tested. If those check out the look for corrosion on the connections. After that I would start with the fuel system. It really sounds more like charging than anything else at this point.

Ok. Well I had my car towed to the dealer to have a diagnostics test run on her. And it's just the fuel pump! haha. I'm so happy thats all it is.
But the dealer wants $600 to fix it. So does anyone know how to change the fuel pump on a grand am? Cuz I would love to do it myself to save money.
