Help with GF's '97 Grand Prix
Ok, I need some opinions... the *new* girlfriend'* car is a '97 GP with the n/a 3800. This is what its doing:
*randomly dies after car is warmed up
*car first loses power then dies
*usually will restart but die if you hit the gas
*let it sit 10 hours and it will run great for a few days, then repeats cycle
*is throwing a P0300 code (random misfire)
*the most recent time it died (last night) she said the lights all dimmed for a few miles before it finally shut off.
I am thinking the fuel pump is on its way out, the car has 192,000 miles and its all original fuel pump. I changed the fuel filter (that was nearly clogged) but its still doing this, but seems to be less frequent. Anyone have any ideas? do I seem to be on the right track?
