Angry 2001 pontiac grand am GT will not start. New fuel pump and filter

So about a week ago my engine stopped working on my 01 Grand Am GT on my way to school so I idled to the side pulled over and called my dad. Once my dad got there we looked under the hood etc. and couldn''t find anything so we called AAA. They got a tow truck and we took it down to Mason''s (goodyear). Once there they told us that my fuel pump and filter was bad. So they replaced that (for $700) and it was working perfectly cranking up just find and everything. So a week later (almost exactly) I went to go to work only to find out that my car wouldn''t start at all (I can''t even hear the fuel pump kicking in). I read about a security glitch on my car saying that you might sometimes have to reset the computer. Well my battery is dead so I took my dad''s car and let the battery get a 10 minute charge while I waited the alloted time to try and start it up again. Again nothing happened. It cranks it''s just the engine will NOT start not even for a few seconds. Any suggestions at all would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance =D

Re: 2001 pontiac grand am GT will not start. New fuel pump and filter

Welcome to AF.

Is it getting fuel or spark ?

First I would check the fuses related to the fuel pump, injectors and ignition system.

I also would check the wires to the fuel pump close to the gas tank. Thier are issues with this harness gettting cracks/shorts in the wires. Auto part stores do carry a replacement.

If it was a security issue your security light would most likly be flashing.

Hope that helps!
