    I have a 2001 Grand Prix GT with a SS M90 supercharger setup, as well with the mods in my signature. Just last week, I went to start my car and it wouldn't start. It would just crank. I gave it gas for a second or two (while cranking) and it started up and ran fine. It's only happened about 3 times in 2 weeks, but I'm worried something is failing, and it won't start at all. I had a no-start problem a few months ago, but it would die no matter what (as soon as I let off the gas). I cleaned up the TB screen, the MAF sensor and the IAC valve, and it fixed it. Could it be related to this? I have new spark plugs, pretty new wires and a new fuel filter. Thank you.

    Fuel pump resistor comes to mind. Search for that and see what comes up. Have you tried unplugging the MAF and seeing if it starts ok?

    I don't think the fuel pump resistor was an issue with the GT's, only the GTP's. Correct? Next time the car does this, I'll check the fuel pressure, and unplug the MAF and see what happens. Thanks guys.
