My fiance's 2000 GTP is not getting fuel. She had it idling in a parking lot late last week and it died on her. When I say it died, I mean to say it sputtered briefly and just stopped running. It wasn't the chugging you get with a MAF sensor.

Anyways, I replaced the fuel pump relay and the fuel pump and that did not help.

Wasn't there another issue with the fuel system, electronically?

I really need help here. Money is tight, like always.

Plugged filter? Bad oil pressure sensor? PCM...all kinds of things come in to play here. Can you hear the pump run? If so, replace the fuel filter. How is the pressure at the rail? Good? Suspect a PCM to drive the injectors. Bad? Fuel filter should take care of you.

Do not hear the pump running, I don't think power is getting to the pump. I don't really have the tools here at school to test fuel pressure.

Well, if the pump isn't running, then you have a problem. You're not gonna have pressure. Check all the underhood fuses and relays. You have an access panel in the trunk, too. Check for power AT the pump. You likely don't have any, but do the little stuff first.

I seem to remember a resistor fix for the feed.
Here it is:

Don't know if that helps.

There's also this method of bypassing the resistor, if you don't have a short wire on hand: Fixing your intermittent stalling problem! Good Luck!

That's right. I forgot about that resistor thingie. Definitely start there.

Replaced all relays and fuses now, now it exhibits the symptoms of the resistor thing. I'll be working on that now. I did that quick fix this summer actually, I think I'll go with short wire now.
