The car was running rough and lunging, so I used Gumout and then Techron injector cleaners and replaced the fuel filter. It ran well for a couple of days then one am last week it would only run for 20 seconds, and would not restart. The next am it ran for 10 seconds and stopped and would not start.
There is fuel at the Shraeder valve at the top of the engine. ( EFI) There is a spark arc at the spark plug. What do I do now?
At night, with the lights off and standing in some dark area, open the hood and look for fireworks.
I chased a similar problem, also degrading over days in a lousy Saturn the same year as your car, that was a miserable piece of junk only months after buying it new.
That particular problem, only one of dozens occurring before it self-destructed at 57,000 miles (dropped a rod bearing cap), was 'only' the spark plug wires that were leaking like crazy, arcing to every piece of metal possible.
The car was 3 years old at the time.
I STILL hate that car and GM! They deserve bad luck . . .
