1999 pontiac grand prix gtp won't start

My grand prix will start about once every month. It will run perfect for about 2 or 3 minutes and then it will start chugging and eventually quit. I have replaced the fuel pump, plug wires, crank sensor, coil packs, checked the camshaft sensor and it was good. I cleaned the maf sensor and confirmed that it has proper fuel pressure. There are no codes when i scan the ecm but the history shows that misfires on all cylunders but two. Number 3 cylinder has over 200 misfires. Also I cut the exhaust in front of cat converter and when I would try to start it the car sounded as if it were out of time because I could hear it backfire with the exhaust uncapped...please help!!!!

Well from what it sounds like is that it is your fuel injectors try going to a full service garage and have them clean the fuel injectors if you cant get it there go to auto zone and pick up a can of sea foam and do it your self thru a vacum line such as the brake booster there is a vacum line that comes out of that and goes straight to your cylinder that will help you there its recomended once a year or every 15000 miles good luck hope it works for you

2004 Pontiac grand prix gtp won't start- fully

You need a new starter solenoid. It is essentially a heavy duty remote switch that is activated by your ignition key switch. The solenoids get stuck or don't conduct well after 6 to10 years.

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.

1999 Grand Prix GTP. Catalytic convertor fine.

Make sure it always gets premium fuel...even with premium and especially in warmer weather the GTP will frequently perform the factory programmed KR (knock ******.) In WOT it is also more susceptible to running a lean condition with stock programming.
Things you can do to troubleshoot the problem and give more consistant performance with the GTP is run colder range copper core plugs and/or any brand of cold air intake, or even a stand alone 9" open element cone filter. Both are better than stock and provide more airflow even though the stock airbox was redesigned in '99. What else you can do is not limited to that but a start. Good luck.
