3800 might be same prob as garrett

[gtphale]

Ok been having a problem with my 97 gtp. Basic stock gp now, I have had a problem with the car studdering and shutting off. I figured fuel related, so I changed fuel filter and then fuel pump. Especially since it only seemed to happen when the tank was low. Well those changes didn't fix it, but I was able to live with it for the time being. Well last week the car stalled out and then I couldn't even get the starter to engage. Figured must be a starter gone bad. So I tested the leads and cleaned all the connections of corrosion. Put in a good starter and had the same issues still. Car now even when the starter does engage it won't fire the car up. I have the fuel resister bypassed cause I thought that was a problem possible.

I'm lost and any help would be appreciated.

Have you connected a multimeter to the starter leads to see if they're getting power?

Yuppers and they are getting power. Just realized that the fuel pump isn't priming, so I went out and pulled the relay put it back in and the car fired over. Before that it just kept cranking. So now i'm thinking I have two problems going on. What else besides the resister fuel pump, and the regulater cause it not to pump? Does the ICM control the fuel pump in any way? I'm going to pick up a new resister and throw it in so I don't have to have it bypassed when I sell this car.

swap the fp relay with the wiper relay....see if that fixes it. remember K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid)

Well swapped out the ICM and still had the problem. Hooked up the SC belt and put the relays in from the Regal. So far two days and not a problem. Man I hope that fixes the problem so that I can get this car sold.

We need to get the Regal back on the street bro. LMK if you want help on my off weeks. Lynn can watch the kids. :lolsign:

gonna start working on it again very shortly. I think I'm going to get it running with this motor then pull it and sell the motor. Then pickup a stock motor and use that. I'm missing the gas mileage. :smokin:

Im sure Jacque can tell you this as well. Modded or stock really doesnt matter since both can get shitty gas mileage. :lolsign:
