My car starts, then eventually stalls...then it won't start again 'til next day?

Question:
I have a 2004 Sunfire. My car usually starts on the first try most of the time, but on 3 different occasions in the past month it has not started for me. The time between failed start-ups has shortened. One night I tried for an hour to start it and it finally started. Ran well for 2 days and then the same thing happened; I stopped at gas station and it wouldn't start again. I had it towed, the dealership said it was the fuel pump and I paid way too much money to get a new fuel pump installed. That worked for about a day. Then one morning it wouldn't start again...and after 20 minutes, it started. The dealer couldn't find any problems and couldn't find any "computer codes." Just 2 days ago, my car wouldn't start and I finally got it to start, then I was going about 25 mph and it stalled once I applied the brakes, at about 0-2 mph. Everytime I try to start it and it won't start, it spins and tries to turn over, and sometimes catches, but only for a second, then turns off. help?

Ticking noise in my GMC motor?

It sounds like your getting too much fuel and not enough air intake. Have you checked your air filter, it may be clogged and in need of replacing. Also you can try an additive fuel injector cleaner to unclog your fuel injectors. A third possibility is that you need a tune up with new spark plugs.

You have a electrical problem, hard to isolate because it comes and goes. I cold tell you to try the ignition module but this is just a guess at this point. Good Luck

I,m looking for a roll of steel brake line maybe 25 ft. What web site would have it?

possibly the spark plugs also would test the battery which is what the dealship should test in the first place but who knows with dealerships.
