Hey everyone, I'm having a problem with my 97 gtp
The car starts up and dies a few seconds later.
It feels like it has an transponder key problem but it doesnt have a transponder key.
If i play with the gas i can keep it running but dies when i let off.
'Some things i did were....power steering pump line replacement...low pressure line.
vacuumm line repair...the line from the manifold that runs to the ventilation inside the car...
other than that i am at a lose.
The battery did go dead and i did charge it overnight.
My pickup had a similar problem after the battery was dead for a while...it had to learn tach....
I drove it in the garage with no issues....went to drive it out and now it wont stay running.
Anyone have and ideas????
TIA
 


no security light...i bought a two dollar key and drove the car a few days so i dont think it has a transponder issue...just feels like it.
Hmm...regulator?..perhaps?
I forgot to mention i am throwinga code...vacuum purge something.
It has been that way for a while...i did change the gas cap.
i hear ther fuel pump running.
how difficult is the regulator to change?
 
hey five
where is it?
just bought this beater and know little about it
Last one i had was a new 2000 gt but it had no issues
can i get that reg at an auto parts place?
 


yes i can keep it running with the gas pedal but i have to pump it and play with it to keep it running,it eventually dies as i am doing this
 
ok guys i pulled the vac line off and no fuel came out...car was not running.
looks like the regulator is a bear to replace...looks like the metal fuel rails are connected as a one piece unit.
as far as a vac leak...i did have vac lines that were cracked but the car ran before
i replaced them.
there are two vac lines that i messed with...the one from the manifold that feeds a tee under the relay box on the pass fender...one goes to the inside for the heater..th other on i dont know where that goes
 


Take pictures. Also for future reference the fpr is held in buy a snap right and pulls out of the rail, but that is not your issue.
 
ok so it doesnt look like the regulator if its no leaking gas right?
i'm stumped
i dont think its a vac leak either though
when it was running i was able to pull vac lines off and it would stay running etc.
seemss weird it was ok and now its dead
could it be a tach learn problem?
like i said before i had a truck that did the sme thing when the battery was dead
ran like crap and wouldnt stay running with out playing with gas pedal...after 5 or 10 minutes it would calm down and run good again
 
no i dont think so but like i said the vac line was broken going to it before and the car ran...i just couldnt change from heat to defrost
 


when i start it without playing with the gas pedal it fires right up and stays running for 4 or 5 seconds. and sounds good
when i turn the key i hear the fuel pump,then crank and it starts right up then dies
I suppose it could be fuel pressure...have no clue how to check it
guess ill look at it again in the morning and see if something came unplugged electrically but i doubt it
ughh
 
Thanks to everybody that tried to help me out!!!!
I tried starting it this morning and the same thing,start then stall.
I bent the pin on the relay # 85 and it fired right up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
