    Well today I replaced the fuel filter on my 01 gtp, when I went to turn the key a few times to prime it I didn't hear the fuel pump engage(I figured that's weird) and I finally went to start it and it'll crank and crank but won't start.

    Got her started, all I did was pull the fuel pump fuse and put it back in and voila!!!

    That's pretty odd. You think the fuel pump wasn't sure what to do with that new filter and added flow?
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
