Most of the time when you replace the fuel pump you need to replace the fuel relay.Also with being towed might have triped the emergency shut off switch, This is usually found in trunk on driver side , It should be marked. Good luck to you. Sorry not more help but this is where i would start.

There is not a re-set on the pump. There is a relay on the fuse box I believe. it sounds like you have an electrical problem. Are you sure you have all the connectord connected? Ground wire?

Why won't my 2001 Alero (2.4) start?

The most likely causes on the Alero are either a clogged fuel filter (which should be replaced every 30,000 miles in order to avoid damage to the fuel pump), or a weak or bad fuel pump. I'd start with replacing the fuel pump since it's the cheapest fix, the part costs about $20 at the Auto Parts Store. Here's a link to the fuel filter location and replacement:

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Where_is_the_fuel_filter_located_and_how_do_you_replace_it_on_a_2001_Oldsmobile_Alero

The fuel pump replacement is more work and more money. The part costs between $100 and $150 to buy nif your a DIY, or about $650 for parts & labor at a repair shop. The fuel pump is located inside the gas tank, so the gas tank will need to be dropped if the pump is to be replaced.

2001 2.4 liter alero has no accleration and shakes at a stop

Very possible that the fuel pump is starting to act up. I sell a TON of these pumps to local shops. Probably one of the top 3 pumps I sell. I recommend spending the extra money on a good Delphi pump on this as well as I have seen a lot of aftermarket ones not last in this application.

@the car was runing fine and tree dayz ago it stop i had it towed and it started and today it stop again and now will not start turns over but will not start

You should start with a fuel filter, if it hasn't been replaced recently, and see if it starts and runs after that. If it doesn't the fuel pump pressure and the spark to the spark plugs will need to be checked.

Alero

it could possible be your fuel pump. If your fuel filter is going bad that want stop it from starting. I have a 2002 alero. I done have both fuel pump and fuel filter go bad. so i have a little experience with them.

Wont start

Do you hear a hum with the click? If you don't then i would say the pump is bad. Chk. all electrical connections to pump and try again.
