I bought a used car from a car dealership and have had it a little under a month. It worked fine til today when I was at the store. I got in the car and it wouldn't turn over to start. It would start, then die just as fast. It wouldn't stay on. Anyways, I had it towed home and had some guys look at it. They said they thought maybe it was our fuel pump and that it wasn't pumping enough gas into the engine to turn over and that we may need a new one. First of all, what could have happened and how much do fuel pumps approximately cost for '96 Pontiac Grand Am's?
 
Yea it definatly sounds like a fuel problem. Most likely a fuel pump. A fuel pump will run you probably around 150-200 bucks. Maybe more.
 
call your local parts store for pricing. First have a mechanic take a look at it. better safe than sorry.
 
do you run the car below a quarter of a tank of gas often? even so your guys are probaley right about the fuel pump and they are expensive to have replaced i had to have to of them replaced in my vehicles within the last two years and both ran about 650,00 to replace good luck
