I have a 2000 gp se when I try to start it it will start then die a few seconds after that. i did this to my wife earlier and then I got it to start and drove it, but it does it again. Thanks for the help!!!!
 




crank position sensor.

you need to take the front cover off the motor to get at it. there are a bunch of gaskets in between here and there, but its not too hard of a job.
 
I cleaned the Maf sensor cleaned a few other sensor's and put a new fuel filter on it and have no problems yet. I drove it around for a hour it ran great no issues and no ses light. Do crank sensor's work sometimes and then not other times or do they go out all at once?
 
I'd go with the crank sensor too. I've replaced more than one on 3.1 and 3.8 engines - maybe I'm just unlucky, but why I can't figure out what it is its usually the crank sensor. It's a fairly inexpensive part, and so long as you have jack stands and a decent socket set you can do the repair yourself in a few hours max.
