When I first posted I couldn't get the link in the post above to open and a couple other post I found on line talked about the fuel pump resistor failing ,but by jumping two pins in the socket #14 on the fuse block it should run if indeed the resistor had failed. I tried tried this and it didn't work .Then I found another post that mentioned pulling the relay out of #15 and bending pin 58 on the relay so it doesn't plug into the socket.The link in my first post finally opened and in the picture it shows the relay out of slot # 15. From what I have read the 97 -00 GTPs have a low and high pressure fuel pump circuit with the resistor in place and working properly. when the resistor fails it will start and run for the 2-3 sec period but can't go into the high pressure run cycle. By bending pin 58 on the #15 relay it takes the resistor out of the loop and runs the fuel pump in the pressure mode all the time. I've read where some people have left their cars that way and others say it's hard on the fuel pump to run high mod all the time. I found one post that stated after 2000 RPM it's in high mode anyway.
My car is running with pin 58 on relay #15 out of the loop ,but if anyone has information on if leaving this set up this way will be harmful to my fuel pump please post it. Thank you for the replies .Don
