What would be the cause of a consistently faulty throttle position sensor on your 1994 Pontiac Trans Sport?

I had this problem on my 93' and put in a used (but 'good') TPS. It died again within two weeks. a TPS is reall just a Variable Reistor (potentiometer) so a used unit in theory should be fine. However, I then replaced it with a New unit and its been working fine ever since.

What size engine is in a 2001 grand am se?

LA1 3.4 L V6 The LA1 3400 ("E-code") was a bored-out version of the LG8.It kept the OHV layout of the previous engine and appeared in a car for the first time in the 1999 Pontiac Grand Am and Oldsmobile Alero.A 92 mm (3.6 in) bore with the same 84 mm (3.3 in) stroke brought the displacement to 3.4 L (3350 cc) The 3.4 L engine is known to have intake manifold gasket problems, much like all other GM v6's. This is known to cause engine damage if the owner of the car neglects to change the gaskets- so car companies have released gaskets that correct this problem for good, such as :# 1996 Chevrolet Lumina APV/Pontiac Trans Sport/Oldsmobile Silhouette # 1997-2004 Chevrolet Venture/Pontiac Montana/Pontiac Trans Sport/Oldsmobile Silhouette # 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero GL/GLS # 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am SE/GT # 2002-2005 Pontiac Aztek/Buick Rendezvous # 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala # 2000-2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo


Could the oil pump cause the low oil light to come on on a 96 sidekick sport 1.8L?

The light is not a low oil light, it is a low oil pressure light. Yes, a weak pump will cause this. Also a bad oil pressure sending unit can cause this.
