    Sometimes when I fill up on gas (92) my 02 gtp won't start. It'll turn over and die and just keep turning over for about 30 seconds. I have to push on the gas as I'm starting to stay stable. Any ideas as to what causes this?

    I went and bought some maf cleaner and tb cleaner today so hopefully I get around to it the next couple days. Only thing is doesn't the tb need to be torqued to spec? Or not that big of a deal?

    Also got a 180 tstat to hopefully get rid of the code coming and going but unsure as to what coolant to get to replace what's in it. (Orange Dex cool) been reading around and dunno if I should switch to the green stuff or stick with what's in there.

    see if you got pressure at the rail. turn key to run, push the pin in under the black cap on the rail.
