02 Grand Am won't start!

Hey guys, I own an 02 pontiac grand am.

So I guess I will start from the top to help in diagnosing the problem.

Last friday I was driving and the car just died out. It seemed like it had run out of gas (it was low, about 1/8 of a tank) so i walked to a gas station and put gas in it. No dice. When I crank it over the starter goes and everything works fine it just won't turn over and really doesn't try. So me and my buddy pop the hood. It gets spark, it is getting fuel, it still won't turn over. So yesterday we tow it to a checkers auto parts to use thier diagnostics computer and it reads "no DTC's are currently stored in the vehicles computer." Great. It had an option to reset the computer which we did and the car fired right up like nothing was ever wrong. GREAT! well today I am driving to work and it just dies out again exactly like it did before. Everything is the same and I am sure if I grabbed the computer and reset it it would work again but I am also sure it would just die on me again too.

Anyone know whats wrong? Is the computer fried? Anyone heard of this before? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.

How much fuel pressure when it dies or won't start? Will it start if you spray carb cleaner into the intake?

I am not sure on the fuel pressure. All we did was use the purge on the fuel rail to see if fuel came out, tried to start it and it was full again. I have no idea what the fuel pressure is but could probobly check later today. As far as spraying carb cleaner I will try it and see but I left the car at a buddies and we won't be home until later.
