its a 1997 GTP with the 3.8 supercharged (ik you guys know this). thank you for the info on the relay and will fill everyone in on what i find. Could there be a short or bare wire somewhere that could case this? i have a feeling it might have something to do with the ignition from what ive seen on here and as far as i know its still the OE ignition (w/ 240k on it)
