    ok guys so i went to my buddys house went inside and stayed the night there the next morning i went out and the car wouldn't start.. Fuel pump wouldn't come on so i bought a new fuel pump and put it in and the car fired right up and ran good for about 5 mins and then started cutting out and died. rechecked my lines and let it set for about 5 mins and then it did the same thing over again.. What happen??? the car has about an 1/8th tank could that be it?? and also could the fuel filter be plugged up again i changed it about a week before the fuel pump went out

    What are we looking at here? 97-03, 04+? Gt, GTP? Check the wiring for the pump. Are you parked on a hill and low on fuel?

    deff check the harness to the fuel pump.. the pins inside of my connectors got loose witch make it hot then it gets worse.. have someone in the trunk just put a little pressure on the connector and turn the key and see if u can hear the fuel pump prime itself

    i found that i had a vacuum line loose i put it back together and it attest doesn't cut out in neutral now when i punch it.. but when its under load and i give it much throttle at all it falls on its face... the vacuum line off the fpr had just a slight hint of gas smell but the fpr doesn't have any smell at all
