    I put gas in my 02 GTP. When I go to leave the gas station it died and wouldnt start until I sprayed starting fluid in the throttle. Once started it died right away. Had to have it towed home. Fuel Pump issues maybe??

    sounds like a dead fuel pump.

    you can try banging on the bottom of the gas tank, (a few flat palm hits with your hand) if it starts up after that the pump is dead and needs to be replaced.

    Did you check the fuel pump fuse? I've had mine blow 3 times randomly since I've owned the car. Can you hear the pump test when you turn the key to the ON position?

    I actually have to have a 30 fuse in for the fuel pump it doesn't seem to take the designated 15.. It never blows the 15 it just doesn't respond.. I don't recommend but it's been working for me for months so def check the fuse .

    id be checking every fuse, under the hood and in the car, could be the injector fuse.

    also you say its got pressure at the rail. you use a pressure tester to see just how much? it needs to be over 40 psi.

    fuel should spray all over when you hit the valve on the rail. if its got good pressure.

    pressure gauge can be rented or bought at a parts store. aka free rental deal.

    being it never started after you filled up. i think the gas is ok. heat shouldn't make a difference.

    check pressure go from there.

    the check engine light on by any chance? not that a fuel pump will set a code.

    10 plus year old free cars can do that. but being it was free....well i look at like its not to bad if it needs a few parts here and there.

    once most cars break 100,000 miles all sorts of stuff just wears out. its all normal really.

    and a fuel pump is super easy to change in these cars. if you shop around you can buy just a pump and replace it vs the buying the whole sender and canister.

    Is it general consensus that silverstars are garbage or just my opinion? After reading the back of the Silverstar packaging theie claims are comparing the brightness of a new silverstar bulb to an old/worn generic bulb. Also, I believe it clearly shows the Silverstars life expectancy is a fraction of a normal bulb.

    Maybe a headlight restoring kit would be a better option.

    Forget the restorers... Our headlights suck no matter what... I just got new housings and 55watt HID's, lights the road fine now, even if anyone in front of me hates me.
