Well i would change the fuel filter first. Then if that doesn't fix it there might be a reset button on the inside of the trunk for the fuel pump actually look for the reset button first. If you don't have one there is a relay switch under the hood sometimes they fail. You have three Ac,Fuel pump, door locks. The way i do it is turn the key on have some one put there hands and feel for the switch to work when you engage the power locks mark it with white tire crayon and feel for the ac when you turn it on it will still click even with the engine not running. mark that one also, Now the last one has to be the fuel pump relay turn the key on and it should click. if no click is heard? You have a bad fuel relay switch. replace it. If you feel the click and hear it? That would mean the fuel pump is bad. And these are in the tank. But please go with the easy stuff first. it might seam a waste of time checking the relays and marking them but i always fo this and mark them. cause you never know when your gonna need to find the relay something.
Good luck!
Hope i helped.

My 2004 grand am will turn overbut not start...fuel pump?

spray a quick mist of starting fluid into air cleaner hose. Reinstall. If vehicle starts then shut off, suspect possible faulty fuel pump relay, fuel pump fuse, fuel pump, or wiring

I have a 2004 grand am. the motor turns over but wont start. I changed the fuel pump, the ignition is good, fuses are all good but it will not start

first check the fuel filter. check before and after the filter if you get fuel before it then check after it, no fuel before go back to the pump. if you get fuel after then go to the fuel rail on the motor. open the line before the pressure regulator, if you get fuel then check after the regulator, if none after then the regulator is bad, if the regulator is vacuum assisted check your vacuum.

I have a 2004 geand am. the motor turns over but wont start. I changed the fuel pump, the ignition is good, fuses are all good but it will not start

Check for spark (pull a spark plug and arc it to a grounded surface) and check for fuel to the engine (can be done through the spark plug hole opened by removing the spark plug)

2004 Grand Am not starting

A bad Crankshaft Positioning sensor will cause the car computer ECM to turn off the spark and the gas to the engine so that it will not start running.

A bad Ignition Control Module will not allow the Spark Plugs to fire correctly.

Bad or no gas, use Chevron with Techron it really works to remove harmful deposits on Valves.

Worn out Spark plugs need replacement.

Faulty fuel pump or fuse.

Faulty Fuel injectors, GM band Fuel Injectors are the worst.

Car won't start

You should check the fuses and relays associated with both the fuel system and the firing system. Make sure you have a spark at the sparkplugs and fuel is getting to the engine.

Possible fuel pump problems

the fuse for the fuel should be in the engine compartment by the battery towards the firewall. do you have the owners manual? why do you think its the fuel pump or fuse?
