Ok, so been driving the GP more then not lately, and you'll be driving straight down the road, and it just randomly dies. No hesitation or anything, just dead. Throw it in neutral, fire it up and it does just fine. Well as of yesterday it now does this almost every time on acceleration and on top of that once you start it back up, as soon as you drop it in gear and start making any forward progress it shuts down again, with no hesitation. Anyone have even a place to start? Its hard to diag a problem that makes no since and has no purpose of why its doing it, nor can i get it to do it in the garage, has to be moving and have some sort of a load on it
 


alright, i forgot to add i have NO ses light or have i at any time lately, ill try that today and let ya know
 
i don't have a spare but i will get one, makin a junkyard run for my sis's honda now anyway, i unplugged the maf and it didn't change a thing, now at idle parked it will only run for a few seconds, runs fine and just shuts down
 
ok, so no luck on finding a ignition module in the scrapyard, good news is i now have a ses light, so i'll scan it tomorrow and figure that out atleast and go from there. She will now run for about 5 seconds at a time
 


well my ses light was the MAF that i had unplugged for a second, and all stored codes all made since for the work i've done. Now according to the Genesys the car is running lean, the fuel pump is running in severe duty mode, and all sensors are sending correct voltage, yet the best air/fuel ratio i've gotten while being on the scope was 10.2/1 so wtf! It doesn't help that its 37 degrees and i can only run it for 2 to 5 seconds before it shuts down
 
i was gonna replace the fuel filter just as a precaution since i know it needs one, and of course even with heating the fitting first, the line twisted off, so...anyone ever replace there entire fuel line front to rear and if you have whats the cost on it if you can remember?
