hey there, my freind recently (as in yesterday) purchased a 1999 GTP coupe, white w/tan leather and all options. he doesnt know a whole lot about cars (as of yet), and i have some knowledge and tools so i help him with most of the work he does on stuff. The car has 140,000 on it, and its mostly stock it has a K&N drop in and the resonator has been piped over thats all. he got a really good deal on it but it has a few of the common problems a lot of these cars have. The headlights are ugly, he was planning on getting a set of the blacked out housings off of e-bay. The fog lights are busted out he might get a set of the Hella Angel eyes or the other ones from PFYC for that. the driver window switch is busted but he already ordered a new one for that last weekend too. the interior pass. side upper entry light thing is missing the cover, and the driver side door hinge is wore out. Since we are good freinds and im am just as excited about him getting the GTP as he was im not going to charge him anything to work on it and i get discounts on parts so me and him can fix everything on it for prolly under $350 to make the car look brand new again. then we plan on changing the supercharger oil since it has prolly never been done, and doing basic stuff like oil, plugs and wires. with all that in lemme know what you think.

now on to the questions, the car has the Auto dual climate controls but the exterior temp always reads around 55 deg. no matter what the outside temp is, is there a common problem that causes this? the car has the ABS and Trac lights on and my Snap-On MT-2500 wont communicate with the ABS module although it does communicate with the PCM and BCM is there a common problem that causes this? and the biggest problem, the fuel pump takes like 45 seconds to prime the system enough to start the car (it runs and runs but the car wont start, if you let it set till the pump bogs and shuts off it fires right up)but the pump isnt weak because we took it for a test beat on the way home when we picked it up and it is def. at full power! I was thinking the cause was the pump resistor problem but it sounds like that causes a not running condition more than a not starting cond. Any answers are greatly appreciated, we hope to have much fun with this beast this summer on the street as well as the track (BTW about how fast should this thing go in the 1/4 as it sits?)
