2000 GTP fuel pump?

[Guntrucker]

My car died on the road on me one day, and it would start for a few seconds the die. I started it again, and if u constantly keep moving the throttle pedal quickly, it will run at 2,500-4,000 rpm. I got it home getting to 80 then coasting and restarting, took it to the dealer and they say needs a fuel pump, has 45 psi and drops off and dies. I did the relay wire cross, and the fuel pump runs, but car starts and still dies. Do the pumps still run and get weak, or is the dealer trying to get a easy $700 from me, and a little fix? Any help appreciated guys.

It also had a code, TPS low input voltage, but my buddy cleared it with his Modus.

A crank sensor would do the samething u are saying too.

bend the #85 tab on the fuel pump relay. See if it runs then.

And why would you have a dealer fix it? They charge an arm and 4 legs to repair cars.

sounds like what i got going on except the car dont stall out.. check ya filter.. and do what ^ he said

[Guntrucker]

Any way to check that without tearing into it?

[GTPSHAWTY]

take the filter off.. its no more than 12 bucks from autoparts store..
easy fix..

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

DO this, takes 5 seconds. See if it works.

quick disconnect fuel line and i think a 5/8 wrench

couldn't get any other codes on the modus, so had the dealer figure it out so i could fix it. lol. how would you go about checking the crank sensor without pulling it? fuel filter isn't very old, but could be the first thing to try, think i have one in the garage now that i think about it.

modus will be able to check crank sensor.. You will need to drive it with it plugged in

[Guntrucker]

i did the wire across the 14 relay i believe to get the pump into high speed, but it still died on idle after a few seconds.

[Guntrucker]

we had the modus plugged in while running and never threw a crank sensor code. never threw the low tps input voltage again either after we cleared it.

[Guntrucker]

well i just went out and bent the 85 tab on the 15 relay, it runs!!!!!!! So that is the fuel pump resistor that is bad then? I wondered how the fuel pump could be out when i could pedal it and get 80mph, dont seem like a bad pump to me. lol. if its the resistor, where do you get the good ones, and how much are they? thanks guys, you rock.

You're welcome!

You need to watch the crank speed. It will not throw a code.

Im glad u find the problem..

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

its not the crank sensor.

I was right, do I get a cookie?

[Guntrucker]

so the fuel pump resistor under the fender is the problem then? correct? is this a dealer item? bout how much?

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

local auto parts store carry them.

[Guntrucker]

has anyone ever ran the hotwire kit from casper's that bypasses the factory resistor? yay, or nay?
