Recently started the car with no problems but the car died 3-4 seconds later. Car runs fine once is started for that short time, no other problems i could see. I live in a cold climate, maybe just frozen water in the fuel? Any ideas?

What model Grand Prix do you have and how many miles?
The best additive on the market is called "Heet" if you suspect frozen water in the fuel tank and lines. It is a gas-line antifreeze and water remover. Also how old is the fuel filter?

The gas line antifreeze did the trick, thanx for the reply.
