I have a 1992 Pontiac grand am with a 3.3L and 190,000 miles on it. After it has been driven a while and then shut off, it wont start after about 10 mintues of cooling down. It takes atleast 2 hours for it to restart. I have checked the diagnostic codes and i get 26(Quad driver fault) 27&28(gear switch circuits). However, it will start with starter fluid, but only until the fluid runs out...like 10 seconds after it starts. It doesnt seem to get gas, although, the filter had been replaced and fuel pump checked. I had been told to get a noid light and check the injectors. Also been told it could be a MAF sensor or crankshaft sensor.
Tonight, i did try and start it after it had been driven, with no luck i decided to unplug the MAF sensor and try again. Once again, i didnt have any luck. So i went to plug the MAF sensor back in and tried once more......fired right up. I really desperatly need some help, so far i've spent about $150 on 2 mechanics that didnt find a thing. For the record, i do have the TCC selenoid unplugged, could that cause error codes 27 and 28?
