You can also try pulling the fuel pump relay under the hood and put it back in. works on my 2000 alero. and yes if the security light is on, you need to turn the key on and wait about 10 min. until it stops flashing, then turn off, then start car.

Fuel filter could be clogged. If not that, open the trunk, pull the spare tire, and smack the top of the tank with a hammer while someone else tries to start it. If it starts, then your fuel pump needs replaced ASAP.

Check your gauges - is the SECURITY light on or flashing? Than this is your problem.
If not - it's your fuel pump.

2000 olds alero went to gas i went to start it and died out will only crank but will not start replaced plugs but only cranking

if you just filled it you probably stirred up rust or dirt from the bottom of tank and it is plugging filter ...preventing starting. Take the gas cap off to release pressure in tank. Bounce the car once or twice to help the junk fall off filter in tank. Let set for 1/2 an hour and then retry starting. Had a Chevy celebrity that did this regularly until I pulled the filter and drained the tank.

Engine won't turn over completely

You need to replace the Starter and Solinoid. The Solinoid comes on the New Starter. The Solinoid shorted out when the Battery Died and Damaged the Starter.
