2007 Pontiac G6 turns over but wont start

[Dave S]

The car ran great on Saturday night. Tried to start it this afternoon but it seems as if it's not getting any fuel. Turns over great (new battery installed a few weeks back).

If it's the fuel pump, how spendy of a fix is this? Or could it be something else?

Thanks

Do you hear the fp run when you turn the key on? Bang on the tank, and see if it will start then.

[Dave S]

I didn't hear it. Too much traffic around at the time.

there are four different engine options for this vehicle. Which engine do you have?

[Dave S]

3.5L V6

turned out it was the fuel pump. OUCH!!!! That bill hurt.

Yup, grabbed your ankles on that one. By chance do you know if you can get at it from inside the trunk? It is relatively easy to do, the bugger is most times you have to drop the dang tank.

I had two fuel pumps go out in a couple months (2 different vehicles). Best $1200 I ever spent. LOL

From what I could tell looking at a microfiche after I took it up the WAZOO was that the tank has to drop to get the pump out. The pump sits at an angle that makes it seemingly next to impossible to work through the trunk.
