I've replaced the ignition module and put in a new battery. We also replaced the inline fuel filter because it seems like it isn't getting any gas.At first it would stall while we were driving but now it won't start at all. I can here the fuel pump when i turn on the key.I'm not sure if its not getting gas or if there is no spark.

Answer

It sounds as though you have a fuel issue be it fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator. I would begin by having a fuel pressure test run on the car. Thanks

When i replaced the fuel filter there was gas in the old one and i could blow air through it so i felt that the pump was working.If the fuel pressure regulator was failing would it stall while driving and then after cooling down restart.I asked car pros.com that question and they never mentioned the fuel pressure regulator but went straight to the ignition module as the problem.

Answer

I would be suspect of the fuel pump as this is common with GM products. They just give out. Also if there is a restriction in the fuel filter this will cause the pump to fail or wear out. Thanks
