01 Grand Am will not start!!!

[brown1911]

Hello everyone I hope someone will be able to help me. You guys always seem to be able to shed light on my problems in the past. I have a 01 Grand Am with a 2.4 dual cam engine. That will not start without spraying starting fluid into the throttle body. We thought it was the fuel pump, but still same problem after changing it. I have fuel pressure to the fuel log, plus like I said when I spray starting fluid in it starts and dies when I stop spraying. Sometimes you can turn engine over, and car will start for about 2-3 seconds, and then die. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Forgot to mention that. It has already been done also.

Thanks for the reply.

Just had the computer scanned last night, and found a code p1632 in the history. That code is theft deterrent- fuel disabled. Seems I have a passlock issue that the late model Grand ams are notoroius for. I will post back my results. Finally got car to start.
