Hi guys. New here.

The wife has a 99 GTP and it will sometimes just stall. Sometimes it won't start....it will turn over just fine but not fire up. She also mentioned a "lurching forward". I am assuming it is all the same problem....hoping rather.

I am also hoping this is a "common" issue and has been discussed and diagnosed here before. Any help is greatly appreciated as I would like to buy parts and fix it tonight if possible.

possibly the maf sensor. next time it won't start, try plugging the sensor on the very top of the throttlebody, right where the intake ducting attaches, and try to start it again.

if that works, try to find one for sale on the forums for cheap rather than paying a tonne from the store. they are pricey.

Thanks. I was sure the MAF would cause stalling and "lurching" but was unsure if it would cause it to not start.

Parts Source has a MAF for $128....and I need it ASAP as it is getting worse by the day.

So, I swapped out the MAF (was a remanned one if that matters). Everything was working fine. Took it for a test drive and from a slow speed, I floored it and it died. Made some strange clicking noise as it tried to keep idle. Started it, died. Started it, died. Started it and gave it gas to keep it alive and it was choking...perhaps starving of fuel?...don;t know. Died. Started it up and it ran perfectly.

Does the computer have to re-learn when a bad part has been replaced?

Not always, but there are a few things, like fuel trims, that are always being self-adjusted. Since it stalled, I would think that the issue lies somewhere else. Has it been throwing codes?

Codes?

Do you have a fuel pressure tester that you can put on the rail to see what the pressure is like when you're having the stalling problems.

I don't have a pressure tester...and the CE light has been on for 2 years....EVAP something. Maybe there are new codes I will check.

probably EVAP flow during non-purge. Problem a hole in the line, no biggie, but I would have it checked to see what else is there.

runs for a split second and dies?

Try this
bypass the fuel pressure resistor



Pull the relay bend tab 85 so it won't go in. Reinstall the relay and start the car. If that works the resistor is bad and needs replaced or you can leave the relay as it is and go on without any worries.

Where is that fuse box located? Under hood or in car?

Under the hood, passenger side strut tower.

That one looks to be on the passenger-side strut tower, under the hood.

I was thinking fuel pump resistor but I thought that was only 97 GTPs... guess not.

I had it go out on my 98. Drove like that for a year and a half before I put a new resitor in. And I think the resistor was used on GTPs till 00. In 01 they did away with them.

So I did the fuel pump resistor trick this morning and the wife said it did not stall at all today on her way to work.

My question is, can this problem be intermittent or would it be a constant issue?
