Starting Problems

[pyromaniac6565]

Im sorry if this has been talked about before, and please direct me to the post and delete this one if it has, but my girlfriends alero, its like the fuel pump \ is bad, or maybe its the plugs. but every once in awhile it wont start, shell try afew times and it wont, then sometimes like 5 minutes later it will start, im going to setup an appointment to get it checked out but they said it will only be correct if its not starting. does anyone know exactly what is causing this/ had it happen to them? thanks in advance and again im sorry if its been talked about ,

It does sound like a fuel pump. I remember reading a thread a while back where this was talked about and a few people said they had problems with their fuel pumps. I'm assuming that when she tries to start it, it cranks, but just dosen't start.

Here is the thread I was referring to...
She Won't Start (http://invision.aleromod.com/index.php?showtopic=14553)

I've had this problem with mine before. It wouldnt start for a month. There was moisture in the micro chip. This was last November. I didn't get it fixed cuz it started running again. But occasionally she wont start or she'll stall when i try to start it. So I just give it a tap on the gas and it starts purring. And also sometimes after a good rain or morning dew she'll have this problem. So it very well could be moisture in the micro chip, Or it could be the fuel pump. Alero's and Malibu's are well known for that.

i just had this problem today i have been driving for most the morning stop at old apartment to finish getting cloths and stuff out came back out the the car and was going to turn it around.. and took me 4 times to get it to turn over. i was like "strange .... " a bit off topic.... as i was leaving my rear passenger window would not go up or down the other three were fine .. then as i was getting on the expressway it went up by itsself hence my hand was no where near the controls... now it works just fine .... how very confusing.... add... my driver mirror would not go up or down for like a day .. and the next it works just fine ... even more confusing ..

I had a starting issue with my 2.4L. It would start fine, then the next day it wouldn't. I had it looked at 3 time before they were able to duplicate the problem. Mine problem was the ignition soleniod and and something else. Had both replaced and never had the problem again.
