He's not saying the fuel pump is the problem. What he is trying to tell you is you can take your receipt from the fuel pump you bought and from the actual work done to it and take it to the dealership and they should give you your money back.

You need to slow down and read the comments. A good amount of advice has already been given by the members here.

 

Dealership is the best place to go.

 

OK, that makes sense. So i guess I need to find a way to autozone and have battery tested??? Also does the battery have to be acdelco (like everything else) r will aftermarket battery suffice

 

Ok, two different things. The reimbursement on the pump is for another day, but you should be able to get some money back on that.

For today, and to get you running again the first thing to address is the battery and/or charging system. First, need to get the car to turn over. Second, need it be at full voltage to trouble shoot the misfire code. Remember, the misfire code could be caused by low voltage, so we have to do first things first. If the battery will not take a charge that's the first (and most obvious) place to look.

 

aftermarket battery will be fine.

Believe it or not, the batteries that Walmart sell are really good quality and inexpensive, try to gets yours charged up first though

 

Exactly, and any correctly sized battery will work regardless of brand. :

 

OK once again, I am just a girl and no nothing about cars at all. No need to get snippy. I'm just trying to read through all of the comments and understand what to do

 

OK, I will start with that.

 

OK i think I will try Walmart cuz i tried having it jumped and it jus wouldn't turn over no matter how much power was given

 

another thing you can check for the misfire once you get you battery issue straightened out, is the #1 injector wire will sometimes rub and short out near the alternator or upper radiator hose. I believe there's a service bulletin on it.

 

Yes, that's where you need to start. Any properly sized battery will work. If your battery tests out OK then you need to check your connections and ground strap, then your alternator, in that order.

With the electrical system in good order then we can proceed to checking the misfire code if indeed the code continues to happen. There is just as good a chance that it goes away as there is that it continues.

 

OK I will start there. I will go to Walmart and c if i can get a battery for a decent price

 

With bad batteries we have seen all kinds of things. I had security light problem etc.

Also many have misfire issues. Hence your P0301. So let us know when you put a new one back in. Then we can help diagnose again.

Can you look at the old battery and see if it's the original?

 

Have them load test yours first. Don't buy one until you know that yours is no good. That would be wasted money.

 

if u can find that information I would greatly appreciate it. Thanx

I know, I jus can't afford that at all right now

 

one min I will go and look

 

Here are all of the TSB and recalls on your car.

AllData - Technical Service Bulletins

 

Yup original acdelco

 

When it is time to get to the fuel pump recall ask the dealer about SPECIAL COVERAGE Bulletin No.: 09275A.

 

thank u i will read through

 

OK, will do

 

[QUOTE=Sox-Fan;7236803]Have them load test yours first. Don't buy one until you know that yours is no good. That would be wasted money.[/QUOTEso can it be load tested at Walmart r do I have to have it done at autozone

 

Sure hope all your issues get solved soon.

 

If your Walmart has an auto shop they can load test it. If they do not then you'll need Autozone or O'Reilly's or Napa or some place like that.

Some Costcos can handle it too. If there is a Batterys Plus in your area you can try that as well.

 

Oan, in the case of having to replace the battery and/or reinstallment, are there any special instructions are reprogramming that has to be done?
