Generally when this happens all the time the fuel pump relay has gone bad. Upon starting any GM car up the fuel pump operates off the third wire on the oil pressure switch. When the oil pressure reaches operating pressure which happens in a few seconds the computer shuts off the current from the oil pressure sending unit and opens the circiut flow to the fuel pump relay. The relay will run ythe fuel pump until you shut the engine off. Replace the fuel pump relay and you shall have a good running car again

03 cavalier w/ no fuel at fuelrail or in lines (fuel pump)

Could be a fuel pump relay or fuse. These are both located in the engine compartment fuse box. I would check these both out. If one of those isnt the culprit I will help you push it off the cliff. Thanks for using fixya!

Sincerely,

JC
