Check the coolant level. Not just the bottle but in the radiator too. The 3400 motor is known for leaking coolant at the intake manifold.
My 1999 Pontiac Montana would seem to "skip a beat" while driving. It then started stalling and restarting, all while driving at highway speeds. My mechanic found that an electrical cable that carried an engine sensor signal was leaning against a hot part of the engine. The cable insulation had melted or worn through, causing intermittent shorts. The shorts confused the engine computer, which then stalled the engine. He simply rerouted the cable and all was fine after that.
If your 1994 Pontiac Trans Am randomly stalls out while driving, you may have clogged fuel injectors or a bad distributor. Check the distributor first, as this is the easiest to replace.
crankshaft position censor
If you want to turn off the running lights off try to engage the emergency brakes. I have a 2000 Montana and that works.
try changing the throttle position sensor
probably a bad camshaft sensor.
probably fuel filter or a simple tune up
There are a few reasons why a Pontiac 3.4 liter engine may die while driving. The battery cables may of come undone, a spark plug may need changed, or the fuel pump could of stopped working.
It depends on the setpoint of the thermostat.
First guess would be the pick up coil in the distributor
the problem may be that the timing chain or belt has broken
The temperature sensor needs Replacing.
