I had left my mothers and drove approximately 35 miles and started slowing to make a turn into our local grocery store when my 2003 Cavalier stalled and would not restart back. Upon checking I discovered there was no fuel to the fuel rail. I had just over 1/2 tank of fuel in the tank. I had another turn key and there was no whirring to indicate fuel pump was operating. I called tow service and towed it home. I dropped the tank and replaced the fuel pump and problem was resolved. Another symptom not listed in the complaints when my pump failed all the gauges on the dashboard would register (fuel gauge and temp gauge) then would drop to 0 and would flicker continuously when key was turned to the on position. Upon purchasing new pump assembly that the wiring harness needed to be repaired as well. You can not purchase a new harness to resolve issue had to cut the fuel pump leads off of pump wiring harness and purchase a new connector and splice them together. I feel there maybe more customers with these vehicles that had service done in a local shop that was not reported to NHTSA or to gm. As this repair was very expensive at the time and many would seek repairs for lower rates then offered by a dealership.

Fuel pressure regulator linked to the fuel rail was leaking, in a steady drip, fuel. Either o rings were failing or regulator was defective or failed to work properly.
