A bad engine oil pump could destroy the engine if allowed to continue to run. If the engine oil light stays on and or the oil pressure gauge reads "0", the engine is in serious trouble. Have it towed to a shop for diagnoses.
Many times an electronic fuel pump, that is going bad, will cause the engine to stop running and then start again. The fuel pump will eventually get worse.
Defective fuel pump would be the most likely cause, but it can be other things.
A bad fuel pump can cause your 1998 Pontiac Grand Am engine to randomly stop running. The fuel pump might be working at times and then at other times not working.
Debris in the hoses or reservoir could cause the motor to overheat. Also, running the pump without fluid could do the same.
Fuel pump failure is the most likely cause but it can be other things. Check to see if the fuel pump is running. Can be a blown fuel pump fuse or bad fuel pump relay. But on a 19 year old car the pump very well may be defective.
Yes it could.
no a bad fuel pump will not make your run hot it will cause it not run like it should and eventually stop running at all
The Alero is made by Oldsmobile not Chrysler. My first suspicion would be a failed fuel pump or clogged fuel filter.
Cause it's a hooptie..
Check for fuel (bad fuel pump) Check for spark (bad coil pack)
Fuel pump failure is one possibility.
The crankshaft position sensor has nothing to do with the fuel pump but a defective fuel pump relay and fuel pump fuse will and also a missing ground circuit will cause it not to run
