I have a 1996 olds cutlass supreme 3.1 with 171000 mile. Driving home the car acted as if it was running out of fuel, pulled over and it never died. Started againg and it went about 2 miles and did it again. Pulled over and wasnt getting and revs out of the car than it just reved up. Turning into street I heard the fuel pump stop humming and the car died this time. Took a few cranks to get it going. I just replaced the fuel pump and filter. The car ran fine for 3 days and now it is acting up. There are no codes this time. When I had it looked at by the service center, there were:p0171, p0131, p0300, p0327. They cleaned the mass air flow sensor and said I needed fuel pump.
