I bought a 1997 Pontiac Bonneville,6 cylinder front wheel drive, with
107,000 miles on it. The problem is that the fuel pump isn’t pumping
enough fuel to the engine. The pump can be heard making a very slight
hum but isn’t pumping enough gas to crank the engine. Two brand new
fuel pumps have been replaced and new pump re-installed so the fuel
pump itself is evidently not the problem. If anyone can be of help in
determining the problem and providing some helpful answers to my
dilemma, I’d be eternally grateful! :?

Has anybody tested the fuel pressure, can we assume it won't start, do you
have spark and/or injector pulse? Replace the inline filter, all basic
diagnostics.

After further examination, I have found that if the computer box (not
sure what the technical name of this is) with the number 10287337 over
the bar code on it and the number 5299 with the letters REV-Z2765
underneath the bar code on the box--is removed then the car will crank
and run for a minute or so. Then the cars acts as if it has run out of
fuel and the motor dies. When the box is plugged back in and turn the
ignition a couple of times and unplug the box again, the motor will
run again for another couple of minutes before the motor dies again.
Does anyone have an idea what this may mean? I’m sorry I don’t know
the technical name of the computer box in question, I’m not familiar
with these kinds of mechanical problems ops: ....Thanks again. :?

Hi I have the same problem with my 2000 SSEi and my security light has been
acting up lately, such as staying on sometimes, I would stop and restart the
car for it to go off. It won't start now and when it does it only runs rough
for a couple of minutes.
Any help would be appreciated.

Did you solve your problem with your 2000 SSEi?
