That seems like the fuel pump. Turn the key to on but don't turn it over, and see if you hear a buzzing sound near the back of the car. If not then your fuel pump is bad. If you do hear it then try to purge your fuel bar under the hood it should have what looks like a valve stem an the top of the motor. Just put a screw driver in it til you see gas while the key is in on Position. If this doesn't work then you'll need a mechanic

Don't get to mad at your husband its a hard job to do fuel lines on any Chevy.
The problem is most likely your fuel pump they last 10 years if your not ******* them and keep the tank at least full .
Running on E is vary bad you could have the filters check but and the out put pressure witch is vary high about 65 psi witch is to high more then the vehicle needs .
That's why they fail 10 years

Testimonial: "when we tried the car this morning it started right up . Then it sounded like it was running out of gas , which it wasn't as I filled it up on Friday . Now it won't start again ."

Removing gearbox

Here's your book info is below...
Most auto parts stores carry Haynes Manuals. You can order them from Haynes if needed. Or...often they are carried in your local library.

I have done Ford and Toyota clutches using these books. Clutch replacement is not hard, just time consuming...And easier if you have a lift.

Note: If like many vehicles, don't forget to replace the engine rear main seal while you have access with the fly wheel off.

You can call Haynes and ask specifically if the book covers the repair you are attempting. I have called them to get more specific wiring diagrams not always provided with the books. Very helpful in providing tech data... I have a Haynes manual for all my vehicles...makes maintenance and repair much easier than researching every I need to do something to my vehicles.

Best of luck finding the information you need...

Here's your book info.

How to replace fuel pump on 2006 dodge stratus

Disconnect the negative on the battery. Unbolt the small bolts under the gas door holding the fuel neck in place. Put a small floor jack under the gas tank holding it up and loosen the straps holding the tank in place. Once you have the gas tank down there is one ring holding the fuel pump in place. Remove the fuel hoses, electrical connecters and then the fuel pump. When you go to install everything back make sure to change the O-ring on the pump seal also. Install everything backwards of removal.
