2002 Old ALERO drove home find didn't start later turned over fine but didn't fire replaced fule pump about 2 months ago

Pull a plug wire , set the end close to the engine, crank it and watch for spark. No spark could be the cranks sensor, wires, ignition module , fuse, or PCM. Have the codes read. Could be the fuel pump too. I have had them die shortly after installs.

What problems does a bad speed sensor cause

A defective speed sensor will normally cause the check engine light to illuminate as well as affect speedometer operation/cruise control operation/and transmission shifting depending on make and model. It should not affect the vehicle from reaching speed. IS the check engine light on? If so, was it scanned for codes that may point you in the right direction. You may have an exhaust/converter problem starting to develop that will cause a lack of power resulting in reaching higher speeds

The alternator is not charging the battery on my 2002 Alero, how do I fix this?

a bad battery would give a wrong judgement of an alternator output. take off your battery and replace with a working one, test your alternator output using a DMM it should read about 12.5 when engine off and 14v when engine start running any figure more or less shows you have a bad alternator or an incorrect input current to the alternator....hope this fixxx it?
