Pontiac Repair: 96 Bonneville Fuel system, flexible fuel, prefilter


Question
I have a '96 Bonneville SSE (not turbo) that would die intermittently when driving.  At times it would almost stall when I braked quickly to make a turn (right turns mostly), other times it would just die while going 50 mph or more.  I've replaced the fuel pump, prefilter, in line fuel filter, flexible fuel lines (boy were they expensive), and the PCV and now the car won't start. Any idea why?

Answer
If it would not start after you replace all of those mostly unneeded parts, you did something wrong. Like maybe you left the pump unplugged or kinked a line. Go back and recheck your work. Also make sure that the wires to the pump are not crossed. Make sure that it is hooked up the same way as the old one. I have seen the wires switched in the connector.
