I stoped at a red light and car started to run rough and had no power held gas pedal to floor and wouldn't do anything not even rev up engine but didn't die until I pushed off the road. It started back up and still ran rough with no power eventually car wouldn't start at all. Already checked Cadillac converter, fuel pump ( can hear it running), and replaced the fuel filter.

If the car won't start, check to see if there is spark and fuel to the engine. NOTE: The pump may be running but not producing enough pressure. Also, you can cheat and see if it starts with starting fluid. If it does, then the problem is fuel related.

Let me know what you find.

Replaced the fuel pump, car still didn't start. I pulled gas line off from filter to see if gas was getting to it and its just dribbling out, so I tryed squirting gas into throdle body and still nothing.

Jason:

If you have proper fuel pressure to the rail, check to see if you are getting spark to the plugs. If you are, check the injectors using a noid light.

Let me know what you find.
