ran some tests the battery is ok and holding a good charge but it sounds like it is not getting any fuel to it. got some gas from my next door neighboor and put it in and still nothing shows i have a full tank with good gas in it now . possible bad fuel pump maybe???

What is the fuel pressure with KOEO. Prime the ignition for 15 seconds, shut it off, using a fuel pressue gauge and read pressure. Since the car wont start that is all you have to go off of.
Secondly look at your fuel filter and then the pump. The pump could be suffering from heat soak, I know it is a different car but Chevy Blazers had that problem to.

Is the fuse blown for the fuel pump?
no fuse is fine.

It's probably the fuel pump. I had the same problems & that's what it ended up being....
could be the stupid passlock...
passlock ?????

are you still underwarranty? take it in...
if i'm not mistaken, theres a interior and exterior fuel pump...
GO PATS!!!
no its not under warranty
and their is only one that i know of its in the tank

Before replacing it, make sure you have a power and ground at the pump.
Otherwise yeah with no pressure I would pretty much say your pump is done.

passlock is an integrated security that all 3rd gen j's have. when the car doesnt read ur key as the correct one, it wont start, well it will but die right away. what u have to do is try to start it, let it die, then leave the key there and just sit there for like 10 minutes or more if u have the patience. this is the time it takes the computer to relearn the key. this has happened to me twice already, it usually happens cause ur using cheap duplicate keys. are u using ur factory key or a copy? is ur theft system light on/flashing? if its not, then this is not ur problem, if it is, then i am 99% sure this is ur problem, try searching for theft system or passlock, ull find better answers.
well had my friend from next door who is a experienced gm repair tech take a look at it and verified it is a bad fuel pump. he said he sees these things go out alot on my year so he and me are gonna replace it today hopefully
thanks for the help guys

wow, isn't gm great? 2 years old and the fuel pump is already dead. at least you know someone who can help you out? he gonna charge you anything?
GO PATS!!!
