    Hey guys, I read the forums alot and I didnt want my first post to be a problem one but I dont know how to approach the issue. I have a 2000 GTP that I bought last July. When I start the car I will run for a second then turn off. The first time this happened It was starting to get cold (around 50 degrees, cold for md ath the time lol) so I thought maybe it was the cold weather, after about 10 minutes of starting it up and dying a minute later it finally started up and stayed on. This happened last friday and every time this happens if i leave the car sitting for over about four hours. Recently I've been flooring it for about 15-30 seconds(just lightly holding that gas wont work) when I first start it up and it will either cut off and I do it again and it works or it works the first time. The car throws no codes when it's running and all other lights (battery, temp, ect...) are off. When driving it it seems ok. Again this started happening last friday, and I had no issues like this when I bought it in july. There are no mods (yet!) besides open cone intake, sub and amp in back, and a viper security system that come with the car. HELP ME GET MY BABY BACK TO TIP TOP SHAPE! Thank You for your help in advance!

    So i did the bending tab 85 for the relay and it worked. I put in a new one and it started acting up again. Does that mean that my pump is going bad?

    No, it means your fuel pump speed resistor went bad.

    IIRC the dealer service kit is pretty easy to install.
