2003 Alero won't start

I have an 03 Alero, 87,000miles 2.4L. It cranked but failed to start last week. I'm not sure I heard the fuel pump run or not. The next day I turned the key to On and I heard the fuel pump run for a few seconds and then it turned off. I proceded to crank it and it started right up. It started and ran for several days with no problems. Then yesterday it would crank but not start again. I turned the key to on and I did not hear the fuel pump prime the system. I did hear a couple of clicks under the hood. Also when I turned off the key I heard a series of about 6 clicks right in the engine area. I checked the fuel pump relay and the fuses under the hood and everything was OK. Is this a PK problem, an ignition cylinder problem, or maybe a BCM problem? Is the fuel pump acting up? When I cranked the engine the Security light stays on for just a few seconds and then goes out. If this is a PK problem will the fuel pump still kick on or do the fuel injectors just cut out? Do I hear the F/I clicking under the hood when I turn the key off? I never heard this before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it was a passlock issue the security light would stay on , or flash realy fast.
Also the security system shuts down the fuel pump, you wouldnt hear it prime.

Get your fuel pressure checked, could be a fualty pump.

Hard to say exactly, might try and get it scanned with a high quality scan tool.

Though I doubt it's the fuel pump, my GA SE has 189000 miles with the factory pump, and it's working fine.

Good Luck
