    So here's the scoop the car was running for a few minutes shut off then wouldnt start... had 20 lbs of fuel pressure I got it started again, got it home it stalled again now it has zero fuel pressure

    Any ideas?

    I just had the fuel system looked at and fixed since I got stuck a while ago and the car wouldnt start

    i am NOT AN EGGSPERT but i would start like this
    The fuel system has a wire by the ALT that when power (+) is applied to it will by pass everything else and turn on the pump.
    BTW On the wires by the alt i believe that there are two only one is for the fuel system so verify that the one you are applying power to is the correct one.

    If the pump comes on with the above test i would then check the Fuel relay.
    After that grounds, connections wires, ECM and the list goes on.
    BTW make sure you have fuel in the first.
    Good luck

    Did you take it to a mechanic that is familiar with turbo buicks or just a normal mechanic shop?
