I hava a 1992 pontiac grand am . I replaced the fuel tank and the fuel pump. It trys to start but it will not run. It is like it is getting some gas but not enough to start.

Unfortunately, yes. It's a pain. I own a 1991 Pontiac grand prix SE 3.1L.

My fuel pump problem started when I ran out of gas (gas gauge was offset) Of course it shuts off w/o gas but it will more likely kill your fuel pump and clog the $#!t out of your filter.

If it makes a buzzing sound under the vehicle w/o the engine running, near the trunk area, replace it along with the filter.

the fuel pump is inside the tank

Time for a fuel pump

The fuelpump is located inside the gas tank, you will need to drop the tank to replace the pump, heres a picture of the pump and in goes in through the top of the tank, the fuelpump is called a fuelpump module because it comes complete with holder sending unit and all other parts as you will see in the picture,hope this helps, good luck.

the fuel pump is electric and located inside the gas tank

No, unfortunatly not. They did not come up with that feature until later models. The fuel tank will have to be removed and the pump replaced.
Good luck.

perform a fuel pressure test. if its between 40 and 50 psi you should be fine. if not replace the fuel filter then the pump. replace the coolant temp sensor if the fuel pressure is good. happy holidays

Make sure your fuel pump is running. When you turn the key to run (the dash lights come on), listen for a whirring or humming sound coming from the gas tank area. It will only make the sound for a few seconds then stop. If you dont hear anything at all, first check the fuel pump fuses, if they are good, you most likely will need to replace the fuel pump.

sounds like the fuel pump went out. It is located inside the tank. turn the key but dont start and have someone listen for a 1 to 2 second hum by the gas tank. If they hear nothing then your pump is bad. REplace your fuel filter first, it is outside the tank and could be clogged. YOu could get lucky, but I bet your pump is bad.

Yes this is most likely the fuel pump, and here is why, the tiny little pump in your gas tank works really hard, the way it is able to do this is the fuel around it is very efficient at cooling it, if the car is run low on fuel allot and then run out of gas it burns out the pumps bearings which are also cooled and lubed by the gas. Replace the pump and the filter.
