98 GTP stalls when hot

[lesorubcheek]

So far, so good. I haven't driven enough to know for sure, but no problems today after cleaning the inner fuel strainer. I read a bit about the fuel pump and its canister to avoid starvation due to fuel sloshing around. I still can't explain what effect if any heat would have on the fuel pump acting this way due to having a partially clogged strainer. I also can't understand how the outer strainer was fairly clean, but the inner strainer (the one actually on the pump) wasn't. After I drive for a few more days, I'll post if this indeed looks like the final solution (if anyone here cares).

OK, its been a month now. I've driven the car multiple short trips and a few long ones and no problems. I'd say the fuel strainer cleaning has solved the problem. Again, still can't explain the appearant relation to being heat related, but nonetheless its fixed and reliable once again. So advice to anyone who has random stalls, take an hour and check the strainers on the fuel pump before spending a dime on replacement electronic parts. This could be all that's wrong.

Wow! You da man! I have a '98 GTP since '98 and about once or twice a year at completely random times it starts running real rough and starts stinking real bad. It seems like it's going to stall but never does. All of the suddden, it clears up and runs great. I wonder what it might be. Unfortunately, I must wait until it gets worse to fix it.
