In anycase Ill get right to the point. I own a 97 GTP 3.8 liter v6 supercharged and lately i have been having massive amounts of problems with it.
First the Service engine light came so i had that looked at. My sister had a mechanic replace a sensor and sent her on her way. When I looked at the reciept it said elcate sensor I dont know.
Long story short my sister almost gets killed because my car dies out while she is driving over the verrazano bridge. In any case the light came on again and as she was driving the car home thats what happened. My GTP is my life guys and I love this car just about as much as I love my girlfriend.
When I brought the car to my mechanic on staten island he told me there was an electrical sensor that was out and the car died because the engine was not getting gas. Which made sense because the car would kick over and shut off. It wouldnt stay running. So I drive my car after my mechanic reset the codes and fixed that problem but the light comes on again today.
When I brought the car back to have it read through diagnostic there were 2 codes that popped up. Transmission solenoid, and the Evap emissions code.
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. I have on the engine now the thrasher cold air intake system with cone airfilter. PCM by DHP, Thermostat the whole nine yards. the car has 123,000 miles on it and I really dont want to get rid of it because like I said I love this car. I have had it since 03 and I really dont want to get rid of it, but Im running out of patients.
Sorry so long, if anyone has had these problems feel free to let me know what was done to fix and how much $$$. Thanks sorry so long. Joey (stranded in staten island)...
Can you get and post the tranny and evaporative emissions odb-ii error codes?

The cutting off could be a couple of different problems. Fuel or ignition. For ignition a possible crank position sensor. For fuel it could be the fuel pump resistor is bad which is part of the hi-speed fuel pump relay circuits.
