About two weeks ago my wife’s 2006 Pontiac Torrent’s fuel pump went out. We had it replaced (costly repair) and two weeks later the car doesn’t start agian. Can’t afford another costly fix. Cranks but does not turn over/ turn on, which is exactly what it was doing before we changed the fuel pump. Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas?

can you hear the fuel pump when you turn the key in the on position, before you try to start it?
