1996 Pontiac Grand Am Trouble!!!?

Sounds like it's not getting fuel.

Fuel Pump?

Clogged line?

Clogged filter?

Bad injectors?

The possibility of the fuel filter that hasn't been changed in a while may make the fuel pump to bind, and the gas flow to be not enough to maintain the car... then with it sputtering, you might also have a couple of cylinders misfiring..If this is a quad 4 cylinder DOHC engine, then the car will not function very well with one or more cylinder misfiring......Do this for me...crank the car and holding your foot on the brake. put the car in reverse, and holding firm on the brake, apply the gas pedal to increase the rpms, slowly increase, if the engine starts popping---then you just need a tune up...if the engine is smooth, then more than likely you have a stopped up fuel filter..but replacing it now may not cure your problems due to the damage already sustained to the pump...the bushes are tired of pumping fuel and may last for a little while...the fuel pump assembly will need replacing...

appears like a plugged/grimy gasoline clear out, or worn gasoline pump. Do you've a tendency to run it fairly low on gasoline? Or have you ever run out a pair circumstances contained in the previous? The gasoline contained in the tank lubricates it, and keeps the pump contained in the tank from overheating.

Two possibilities come to mind...

One, it could be a badly plugged catalytic converter...

Or, it may be a timing chain that jumped a tooth...

Both will do that. Usually fuel pumps quit suddenly, but occasionally it will let you get "almost" home...

Is your check engine light on? Scan it for codes.... could be fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator..... maf sensor.... could be a few things....
