    Unhappy '04 GP GT - 2 Questions, Fueling and start up related.

    Hello,

    I have two questions/concerns.

    When fueling (from empty or 1/2 full, etc.) the pump will auto shut off on me as if to imply the tank was full.

    Why does it do that? Is it the way I'm holding the pump? The angle?

    Secondly...

    On initial start-ups, my car will turn over then the engine will shut off. Of course lights, fan, etc are still active, however the engine requires a small pump of the accelerator for it to actually CONTINUE running.

    Only a Single tap of the gas pedal is required. Its not on every start, but it does occur.

    Thanks in advance.

    Just throwing ideas...Is the fuel pump working properly, turning on when you click your key to the start position? did you change your fuel filter? any ses lights or codes?
