When the GP's start to go bad you'll have trouble on cold starts. Here is a thread that will help with the understanding of the GP system

This one is on the battery system

The first thread that I posted for you will explain how to test the GPR also. Basically you have two large terminals 1 is "hot" (line) and one is "hot when on" load" Test the voltage to see if you have 12 volts going to the line side, turn the key to the on position and see if you have 12 volts going to the load side. Take your meter and put a lead on each of the large posts when it is energized the closer to zero volts you have the better the condition of the relay.


Are you getting an SES light? Have you had the codes read?

Quite a few have done injectors and will guide you through the process. Let's start with the basics first, You may just have a loose UVCH.

What are the symptoms and problems that you are having?
