1999 grand prix gtp supercharged thats starts up and runs for a few seconds then shuts down.

When you say it shuts down do you mean "dies"? If so try checking your fuel pressure regulator.

Check your Fuel pressure, being the car is fuel injected and a 98, odds are it is Sequencial Injection. If the fuel pump doesnt pump the proper amount of pressure the fuel pressure regulator wont give the engine gas.

97 grand prix gtp starts then immediatly dies

If you have a GTP these engines use a hi output fuel pump. they use a fuel pump resistor located under the battery tray (look up from under the car) This resistor lowers the voltage to the fuel fump when not in boost mode. because of its locatoin it is prone to corrosion. if you bypass the wires and the engine starts and stays running replace the resistor

97' Pontiac Gran Prix Won't Stay running

Known GTP problem.

You most likely have a bad fuel pump resistor, which controls 2 speeds of the fuel pump.

To check to see if this is the problem, there is a trick you can do and its very easy to do. Go to the attached link, and bend the tab my finger is pointing at and then plug it back in. If your car starts and runs fine, well we just solved the problem.
