my brother bought a 97 grand am v6 from my aunt, it has 30k on it.. it pretty much sat in my driveway for about a year, i needed to fix the window regulators.. that is now fixed.. we changed the battery and started it and it ran perfect... the next day, try to start it again and it starts turns over and runs for 2 seconds and dies... you think the fuel is bad? what should i check?

Check the discussion in this forum about the 91 3.8 liter. Your problem sounds way too familiar. good luck

bad fuel is a very good possibility
also sounds like a anti theft problem
when it starts and dies does the security light flash continously?
