2000 alero, started up fine, after about 5 mins on road upon accel it hesitated and felt as if it would turn off. Came to a stop and then upon accel to go., same thing. Went down a hill and upon accel to go back up the hill veh lost power and turned off,lights dimmed as if the batt was low. Jumper cables were put on it and lights did not work at all as if it was not getting power, about 10 hours later start-up was attempted and veh does not crank over, lights work just fine now. and it started up for like 2 seconds and shut down

This is a Direct result of a Bad Alternator. You can Run on what is left in the Battery for a Little while and if it sits for a While the Battery will retain enough Power to Start. You may need a New Battery in Addition.

2002 alero ran.shut off won't restart.Replaced fuel filter,now it gets gas,but still won't start.

For some reason aleros have this problem every once in awhile. It might be the security on the alero. What you would have to do is turn the key all the way to accel i believe right before you start it and let it sit for about 13 minutes. affter this the security will recognise itself and start your car

2000 alero gas pedal hesitation as well as shut off when slowing or stopping

Usually the problem of hesitation is caused by a faulty throttle position sensor or low fuel pressure, and stalling is a dirty throttle body or faulty idle air control valve.
Is the check engine light on ?
