2003 alero can't start

Hi,
I'm in Portland. and tonight was a little cold and rainy.
I started my car first. When I put to "R" shift, I felt that my car trembled a lot, then I shifted to "D", it still shook. When I drove for 50 feet, it stalled. And then I tried to start it again, never make it done. (Can hear the cranking sound, but can not ignite.) I asked one of my friend to jump start it, and it didn't work. I think the battery was fine, since the the lights were bright. and the fuel tank was full.
Does anyone can give me any suggestions?
thanks.

Welcome to AF.

Please post your mileage and engine size.

the engine size is 2.2L (not the 3.4L one), and current mileage is 74500.

will it start if you give it a little throttle while cranking?

i have a 04 with the 3.4 and it does that sometimes.

How old is the fuel filter? Have you checked fuel pressure?

I went to the car shop yesterday, and they found that it was the fuel pump problem. they replaced a new one and charged me $680.

My Alero wouldn't start, 4 Cyl. Turned over fine. Turned out to be a bad Camsensor.

$680!? wow just paid a little under $500 and that was is in NYS w/ high sales tax. (I was out of town and did not have luxury of shopping around for good prices.)
