Re: 2001 Pontiac GP - 3.8L Dies Every 46 Seconds?
FIXED! The problem ended up being that a shadetree mechanic reversed the return line to the tank and the vapor line when they replaced fuel pump. I had no idea the fuel pump was even changed. Once I found the problem I switched the lines, dropped the tank and replaced the canister. Now it runs great...

Re: 2001 Pontiac GP - 3.8L Dies Every 46 Seconds?
I have had a bit of a breakthrough. I noticed that the canister purge solenoid was new so I checked the history codes and sure enough it had a previous code for an evap problem. I pulled the line from the tank to the solenoid off and noticed raw fuel at the solenoid. I started the car and sure enoug...

Re: 2001 Pontiac GP - 3.8L Dies Every 46 Seconds?
No alarms and no remote starts. I have checked closely and I see no evidence of any ever being installed. I have tried to rev it up at the 45 second mark but it will still die. I cannot rev it up and keep it running. I am starting to think it has something to do with the car going into closed loop. ...

2001 Pontiac GP - 3.8L Dies Every 46 Seconds? FIXED
I have a 2001 pontiac Grand prix 3.8 here that is driving me crazy. It dies every 46 seconds on the nose. It will start right back up and then die 46 seconds later. I am getting no codes and nothing obvious on the data screen when the car dies. The owner has worked on it and It has been at 2 other s...

Re: 2001 Pont Bonneville Pwr Lock/Alarm Issues
I did get the scanner to communicate a few times with the relay out. It is very inconsistant. I do not think it has anything to do with the doors but possibly the truck. I keep getting a trunk open light even when the truck is closed. It doesnt happen all the time but it has happened. I hope to have...

Re: 2001 Pont Bonneville Pwr Lock/Alarm Issues
OK...So I had some time today so I looked at it a little more. I discovered that if I pull the interior light relay the door locks will work and I can also shut off the alarm. The only thing controling the relay is the RIM. I have a RIM from another car but it does the same thing. I guess it is poss...

Re: 2001 Pont Bonneville Pwr Lock/Alarm Issues
No remote start systems, no aftermarket alarm systems and even the factory radio. The car is untouched as far as aftermarket components so we can rule that out. I am starting to realize that the RIM is probably the source of all my problems but I cannot figure out why the scanner will not communicat...

Re: 2001 Pont Bonneville Pwr Lock/Alarm Issues
I am using a otc Genisys. I can communicate with everything but the RIM. The alarm will not reset with the key in the door lock. I have checked the wires between modules and they all seem good with no breaks between them.

2001 Pont Bonneville Pwr Lock/Alarm Issues
I have an 01 Bonneville here that has some issues. The guy dropped it off with the complaint that when he turned the car off the alarm would start honking the horn and flashing the lights. The only way he can turn it off is by pulling the igniton fuses. This happens everytime you turn it off. I star...

2003 Dodge Sprinter 2500 - P2506 Code
I have an 03 Dodge sprinter 2500 van with a code of p2506 ecm power input. There is no explantion of this code in the Mitchell program. This van comes from the car lot we are attached to. Normally I would not take something like this in because we just do not have the equipment for this van. The van...
