Re: 2000 Alero, tryed many things, still dies while driving

I had a problem with the car not wanting to start and thought it was the fuel pump...it turns out there was a security glitch [in the wiring that caused the car not to get fuel somehow. It wasn't the fuel pump at all. This is really amazing me at the different problems with the Alero. The engine is a good engine, it's just got some quirks in the electronics. I also had gauges that didn't work because they were on the same circuit as the radio. I was told by a mechanic who was too busy to work on my car to unplug the radio. Guess what? The gauges work. I found burnt wires behind the radio and wrapped them in black tape. I was told I need to replace the wires. This electronic stuff is really interesting to me.
