Okay so I introduced myself and a couple people said "I don't see any questions". I am about to fix that problem right now. Like I said in my intro, I had been lurking for a while and despite that I still decided to Buy a 97 GTP so I am obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed. Now I have read a ton of stuff on the P0171 code but don't know where to start on mine.
I have had the car for about a month and bought it from the original owner who was a retired 83 year old GM Line worker so the car has been maintained 100% with a TON of records. Remaining all stock and the only fuel that has ever been used being Amoco Ultra Premium and the only oil is Mobil One Synthetic. The car is 14 years old but in about as pristine a condition as I would imagine possible. Then I bought it and Murphy shows up.
I had just filled it yesterday and it had driven flawlessly up to pulling into the gas station but once filled and I tried to restart it, things were different. It sputtered and stalled. It cranks and starts right up but the rpms bounce for a second or two then it stalls again and this happens over and over. I towed it home and it sits in my garage now sad and waiting for me to figure out the P0171 mystery and I have no idea where to begin. It still turns right over but I did notice a stronger than normal fuel smell after it stalls if that might clue someone in to a good starting point. I appreciate any and all advice but I appreciate correct advice even more
On a side note, I tried to post a picture and could not get it uploaded. Size and format was okay so any tricks I need to know on that would be great because I know pictures before questions are always better but I will post one as soon as I can. Thanks again.
