My 2000 Pontaic Grand Prix GT has been doing the same thing and the dealer where I got it said that I needed to replace the Mass Air Flow Sensor, the also said cleaning it would help but I tried that and it didn't work. I checked on the price of that part and it was 139.00 plus an 87.00 core charge fee that would be refunded after the old part was returned to the store. Maybe that will help you in fixing your car.
hey i also have the same problem. my research tells me that i could be dirty injectors, bad o-rings on injectors, bad compression on one or more cylenders, or a faulty air idle motor. the motor is a valve that controls the engins used air that goes back in the intake manifold. and its on the right side of the motor. its not covered by anything and is near the fuel rails. its probally easy to replace. that's all i know, hope i helped
The Pontiac Grand Prix was produced from the years 1962 to 2008. The throttle position sensor in a 3.8 V6 Pontiac Grand Prix is located on the butterfly spindle of the throttle body.
Where is the throttle position sensor on a 1997 pontiac grand am 4 cyl.
on the side of the throttle body
Butterfly in the throttle body needs cleaning.
under the throttle body
under the throttle body.
the thermostat is right under your throttle body and it is difficult to get to
Its causes gear shifts at high throttle at 5800 rpms instead of at 3800 - 4400 as stock computer will do in GTP
since the throttle is electronic i would assume its on your gas pedal
Yes, both cars had the exact same 3.8 series II engine.
did you find a solution yet
you have to take off the throttle body and the air intake box to get at it its under there
