Thread: hey everyone

Sorry to say but I'm sure like others I joined this site for I am having problems with my gtp. It was a great first 6 months and now tragedy has struck.

whats your problem?

It turns over but won't start. Been workin on it for days. Not getting any voltage back on the fuel pump. I think it's the Mass Air Flow sensor. There's no continuity when I unplugged it think something shorted out in it. And maybe the computer isn't turning on the fuel pump.

Take it to Pontiac. What year is it?

it's a 1997. Well yesterday figuered out that my MAF sensor was broken in half. But I think my fuel pump is still the culprit. It wasn't working my dad took it out and hook it to the battery and it started running and my car has been working for a couple days now. I heard it could be the resister in the fender but I think i'm still gunna have to end up buying a pricey fuel pump.

Welcome. Sorry to hear.

i may still have my good fuel bump in the garage ill sell to you cheap if you want it. ill look in the morning and see.

thanks all guys I ended up finding a site that just sold the pump motor to me for $65 been working fine for today.

thats good2 hear.

so now that I got it all up and running I see a good deal on a newer gtp. I think i'm gunna spring for it 2500 more than what I paid for mine I get something a lot newer with half the miles. Got a family so need a good daily driver. Gunna miss my mods though.

Yeah I know I just replaced it while I was there and noticed it. However I do think it does have something to do with it starting because the computer sends an impulse there whenever you turn the key on. Probably to determine the proper air/fuel ratio.

So anyways I was wandering what you all thought my next mod should be on my gtp. I got what I believe to be a 3.4 not 100% sure kinda did some measuring but kinda hard to do without taking the belt off. And a cold air intake. The kid before me cut all the mufflers off so I gotta put some mufflers on it. But I'm wanting to drop pulley sizes(just one or two more) and I was wandering what next move should be? Headers?

3" dp, plog, 180 stat, al 104's, tuned pcm. dont go lower than a 3.4 unless your doin some heavier modding.
