Answer
Hi rey:

well firstoff unless you want to srat a fire that is a good way to do it with a gas soaked rag. do not do that. does the fuel pump run? does it have fuel poressure at th fuel pressure tap on the engine. If there is no pressure ther the fump is not running.. you may have a bad fule pump replay in the under hood fuse block. This is a GT does it have the super charged engine or just a 3800 engine. If it has the super charged engine try holding you foot to the floor and feather it and see if it srats and tries to run. if it's the super charged engine it is possible that the fuel pump resistor is bad. another thouigh is is the security lamp on and or flashing? if so it could have a problem with the pass key security system from the factory. those are a few things to start looking for. good luck :)
