    Hey guys I have a 99 GTP and it wont stay rinning. I Thought it was a fuel problem so I replaced the filter, pump, and pressre regulator and its still doing the same thing. If i start it it will run for about 3 sec. then dies but starts right back up. If I start it and give it gas i i can get it to run on the rev limiter but as soon as I ease off it dies. Any help will be very much assreciated Thanks

    Its the fuel pump resistor. 100% positive. here is a temp. fix for the problem. Look under the hood inside of the fuse box and you should see this....

    Take the relay out that is indicated in the picture. Bend the tab that is indicated as shown in the pics. Bend it break it whatever. Your car will start right up. eventually it would be a good idea to buy a fuel pump resistor and have it installed.

    I was having this same problem for over a week, we replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, crank position sensor, and a slew of other random things. Can't believe this little bugger was the problem. Thank you so much!
