It looks like I'll be doing the work myself, bu it should only cost around 400 in parts. Then, once that is done and it is still stalling on me, I can take it in again and ask that the stalling problem be diagnosed again. I'm really beginning to wonder if it is worth the hassle.

That's most likely NOT what's wrong with your car! I went thru the same thing last year, pump and all, they still hadn't fixed it....turns out, it was a shorted ground wire in the driver's side footwell area that was causing it to die. NOT the fuel pump I paid to have replaced! Seems the Driver's door seal had been leaking into the footwell area and had saturated a ground wire, the GM Tech found it, Spliced a new wire in and that took care of it! You are having the EXACT same symptoms I was. Everytime I would try to roll down a window or hit the Power Locks the inside lights would go out and something would make a funny crackling noise. But it would leave me dead.
Hope this helps!
