I have 2001 Grand Prix GT with an SS M90 Kit. I went to do a cold start yesterday, and the car wouldn't start. It just cranks. It will run if I keep my foot on the gas, but as soon as I let off, it dies. No code came up on my Aeroforce scan gauge. I have changed the fuel filter and spark plugs. Anyone have any ideas?

clean your maf sensor maybe

I'll try that. Do I have to use MAF sensor cleaner? I'm trying to get my car running right now and no shop is open.Originally Posted by Fivefingerdeathpunch

Fixed!!! Thank you so much!!!

no problem man. If it starts to do it agian, now you know what it may be, but next time that maf might go bad.

They actually do make a Maf Sensor Cleaner. Brake Cleaner works too if your in a bind. If that happens again unplug the maf. You car will run without it. It just puts it into speed density mode. It may not like to idle at first without some throttle. Trust me been here done this before lol.

NO...man.
No.
Never spray a sensor with brake clean...it'll eat it straight up and destroy it. Been there, done that.
MAF/Sensor cleaner is a very diluted mixture of parts cleaner...so it is sensor safe.

Yeah only use maf cleaner or electrical contact cleaner.

Did anyone else notice the title says his cat won't start?
My $0.02, if your cat isn't starting, it's probably dead.

Pretty much.

Electrical contact cleaner worked for me.

Feeding it, and a trip to the vet might help as well.
