01' Grand Am will not stay running...

[jeffreypca]

I have a 01' Grand Am. It will start but then die, almost if it wasn't getting gas but there is lots of pressure at the motor.

And another weird thing is that it has power going to the motor to turn it over and the gauges work BUT nothing else works at all, like radio, all lights, trunk popper, etc...

Can someone please help me out, its been in the driveway for 3 months now and I need it back!!! Thank you!

check the cables and test your battery. if it doesnt hav enough juice(12+vlts) to run all the cpu/electronics and turn over too, it wont start or stay running.

Yes, its all good because I took the battery out of my gfs grand am and does the same thing.

do u here the fuel pump run when you turn the key on? If you dont first check the fuel pump fuse and relay. If it does run with the key on its might be ok, but you might need to check the fuel pressure from the shrader valve on the pass side of the fuel rail. Thats where I would start first. You can probley rent the tool to check the feul press. from Autozone, hell they dont cost a bunch to buy even, but i hate spending on something you'd only use once or twice. Good luck and let us know if your still stuck/stumped thiers some really smart people around here who can surly help .
