2000 Pontiac Grand Prix SE Starts then Dies? Sign In

Year of vehicle 2000, Pontiac grand prix se, engine size 3800, 150000 milage

Engine starts but then dies over and over, after letting sitt for a couple hours it will stay running for 3 mins then dies and will start and die immediately. Is this the fuel pump and if so does it need to be professonaly depresserized to replace?

Stacie; I'd want to do a bit more diagnosing prior to replacing the fuel pump. Have the fuel pressure tested. Any trouble codes stored? Check engine or service engine soon lamp illuminated?

Let me add one more thing to look at here.........

Is the security light on or flashing when this happens?
