The GTs don't have them, only the GTPs do.

Does ignition switch have anything to do with car running after startup? Check the coil packs for secureness. Fpr since fuel was milk chocolate.

Might be worth it to pull out the fuel pump, and see what the strainer and fuel tank look like.

Hi guys, I came over to make a new post regarding my car just DYING while I'm driving and I saw this post by 01 GT. My car has been doing the SAME EXACT THING at different times and I put it in the neutral and turn the ignition and it starts fine and runs and then maybe like 30 mins later dies while driving. Just completely shuts off.

Now my mechanic checked it out and last year we had a problem with the PCM. My mechanic had to "rig" something to make it sit right new to the FWI, and after awhile my speed would just go up and down like the speed sensor was bad. It happened to be where the PCM was, he tied it to the FAI with a clip. The problem was solved.

Now when I went back to him for this "dying" problem, he said maybe the clip was pulling the wires in the PCM so he moved it again and the car ran fine for a few days and then today it died only once.

Do you guys think the PCM could be going bad?

How is that a jack it's in relation to the same problem. You'd rather a bunch of different new threads on the same thing?? Get a grip man.

Hello,

i have a 97gtp, and maybe @ 2002 I just had my recalled rack n pinion put in by dealer. When I was driving home the car just died. I called up and crucified the dealer. Went back and they showed me just a 2 pin harness plugs back in. After a week the car just died 3 more times. I found the 3 major ground wires to the car, unloosed them , and drmeled all the rust off the car. I live in Buffalo NY, and the car only seen 1 winter at this point, and sure enough the problem never came back. Good luck..

well, zerg and I just went in with the tuner and he turned the code off. well i made him come with me for a test run and sure enough it did it again.

WELL, after looking at the maf delta tables closer and comparing mine to his(stock ones) he realized that mine were WAY too low. So, he raised them up to stock level and it ran fine the whole way home. I will update in a week or so and let everyone know how the car is, that is, if the car doesnt die before that.
