Engine Mechanical problem
1996 Pontiac Grand Am 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

We just got a huge down pour and since then when I try to start my car it starts no problem but then about 5 seconds after it chokes out, I've verified the fueses and all is well. I don't know what it is? Do I have water in my tank? Or do I have to change the fuel filter? Or is it the fuel pump? HELP!

Start with the basics, and work your way up, Last tune up was? Wires plugs ALL filters? If all that is ok, check for a stuck EGR, then test fuel pump pressure, If it won't restart, determine what's missing, the engine needs three things to run, Spark at all plugs, gas to all cylinders, and compression in all cylinders, tho an engine may run lacking one in one cylinder, it won't run very well!

and this one!
If the check engine light is on, get the codes read, even if you need to buy a cheap scan tool.
