If the injector is running a lean you could experience a little hesitation. Most GM vehicles use throttle body injection and only have one injector. If it's gummed up you could get better performance by running a good injector cleaner with the next tank of fuel. If the O2 sensor is faulty you could be running a little lean. If the O2 sensor is over about 50k Mi, replace it. I asked the question, and fixed the problem myself, so am posting the fix for others. It turned out to be simple. It was the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). It is on the throttle body and is attached by 2 bolts. There is also a wire connector. The whole thing is not much bigger round than a Silver dollar. New one was expensive, so picked up a used one for 20 bucks. Put it on myself in like 2 minutes. Runs like new now. Although the dealer had me agreeing to put on many things (sensors) before I took matters into my own hands. Wish I had done that first.
How is the ignition key switch replaced on the 2000 Pontiac Sunfire? And after replacing the switch would I have to have it Towed to the Pontiac Dealer in order to have the car key programed to the Computer?
2003 sunfire
To fix the Pontiac Sunfire if it jumped time, the timing belt has to be replaced. Then the car has to have the timing set again after the belt is replaced.
I live in Canada on the east coast and just replaced a windshield for a 98 Sunfire. The price was $375.00 Canadian plus taxes and that included labour.
The headlight of yourÊ2003 Sunfire is probably dimming because the bulb is dying. ÊYou will need to have this bulb replaced.
most likely its the throttle position sensor they opperate on a 0 to 5 volt system if the vehicles computer cannot sense the voltage it does not know where the engine needs to idle its a 75 dollar part at the local autopac or napa
yes as long as u swap the wiring and the computer too
Hesitation when accelerating with tha a/c on is a common occurence with four cylinder vehicles. The a/c uses alot of the engines power and causes the hesitation. It is not usually a cause for concern.
It depends on which o2 sensor.
on the passenger side above the wheel
Have you checked for a computer code? That vehicle should have either a crankshaft position sensor or a camshaft position sensor. Make sure it is working properly.
Only if u used the transsmission, engine computer and motor mounts from the 01
