one of the relays responsible for keepin' you running....we'll start with the fuel pump relay~ https://www.google.com/#q=1998+Pontiac+Grand+Prix+fuel+pump+relay&tb m=shop

see if either of these smell burnt~
tphillips2735 answered 4 years ago
The ignition relay smells fine but the fuel relay seems to have a bit of a burnt electrical smell to it. Should the car still run when the fuel relay is removed?
migration_judge_roy answered 4 years ago
perhaps you've plucked the wrong relay~
migration_judge_roy answered 4 years ago
the fuel pump will STOP DEAD once the relay is not juicin' the goose~
