    I recently purchased this grand prix and am having a problem with it shutting off randomly while city driving every 50-80 miles. So far I have bypassed the fuel pump resistor by bending over the prong on the relay, changed the fuel filter, and today changed the fuel pump with an OEM. 3 miles after installing the fuel pump it died again. There are no engine lights or codes in the computer and I dont really know where to go next. Other than that it runs great. Any help would be appreciated.

    Does your tach go to zero before it dies? Could be crank sensor?

    Under the Harmonice balancer.

    You can get at it from the pass side wheel well. You'll need a Hb puller to get it off.

    You had a question mark. Your answer is invalid.
