    But I did just purchase another GTP Turned my leased 06' GP in and replaced it w/a 2001 GTP. I know most people get a new car after a lease..I just didn't want a 350+ car payment anymore. Its totally stock for now. I just have to figure out where to start..lol



    Not sure if I ever posted pics of my 97 either..so here ya go. Mildly modded..and VERY pi**y. Doesn't like to run much..lol. Oh yea..don't mind the hood gap..its open

    I'm not too sure. Its been to a few mechanics and no one can figure it out. It runs good for like 20 minutes..then the idle gets REALLY rough and it wants to stall at traffic lights etc.. Also the SES lite is on ( fuel trim lean bank 1) The long term fuel trim is pegged at 16.4. I have replaced all the normal stuff ,MAF, Fuel filter, o2 sensor, cleaned the TB,checked the IAC, EGR, plugs & wires and it still runs like crap.

    I would bet the EGR tube has either a hole or a crack in it. You can check it out while still on the car by hooking up your scanner and let the car idle. Take some TB cleaner and spray around that EGR tube real good, the one that goes from the EGR to the lower intake manifold. If it does have a crack or hole you will see the trims come down for a little bit. If so, take it off and inspect it.

    Good job man... I would have done the same thing as far as when the lease was up.


    Like blown97 says... Sounds like a vacume leak or Possibly the o2 sensor bank 1 (did you change that one?) Post up in the tech lounge and let me know that you did...and im sure with the help of me and maybe a cupple others well get it figured out.
