Replying to: mmxer (Sep 09, 2006 6:34 pm) The hardest part of the job was jacking the car up with a scissor jack and taking the tire off.You can't see the sensor you just gotta feel with your hand.All it took was a 10mm deep socket and ratchet and a new sensor.The first time I did it it took a while because I didn't know what I was doing but after that it's like riding a bike,you never forget.Is there any hop up parts for these year cars?just wondering if anyone knows thanks.
#939 of 980 Stalling Issues when accelerating/decelerating or when Idle? Try This!! by ken7308 Sep 10, 2006 (10:20 am)
I have a 99 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Super Charged 3800 Series II Engine. I was experiencing stalling issues like a mad man. When I'm at a red light it'll stall, when im at a stop sign it'll stall when i accelerate from a stopped position guess what? Yep, it stalls. I tried everything from changing the MAF, Spark Plugs, Cleaned the throttle body, tested the fuel injector you name it I did it. One last idea came to mind and that was to check each cylinder coil and module. I took the cap off of cylinder 1 and 4 and it was pitch black! Meaning it was not receiving constant sparks from the plugs which cause all of my stalling issues. I call the dealer the wanted to charge me $586.00 plus tax to change them out. Well guess what, Im not even good at working on cars but I was able to change the cylinders and module by myself. Very east to do on my car. The parts cost $21 for each cylinder and $127 for the module. Car is running like a CHAMP!!!(knock on wood!! : )   Hope this helps anyone with stalling issues. Thanks for all of the help you all have given me.
#940 of 980 funny shifting-only sometimes by falster Sep 12, 2006 (7:30 pm)
I recently bought a 2001 grand prix gt. Everything is great (well there is that weird key stuck in ignition thing-but i know how to fix that anyways) the only thing that worries me is every now and then when accelerating the shifts seem a bit jerky, accompanied by an almost inaudible whine. Otherwise the car shifts smooth as glass...yes, the tranny was serviced at 76,ooo mi. it now has 93,ooo mi. so that shouldnt be the problem right?? i heard it might be the computer increasing the pressure in the tranny but why would it do that? any help please? thank you Replies to this message: naseem641 (Sep 20, 2006 6:16 pm) falster (Sep 21, 2006 7:14 pm) lkerr (Sep 26, 2006 1:10 pm)
#942 of 980 1999 Grand Prix cranking but not starting by cton Sep 14, 2006 (5:08 am)
Have never experienced any problems with this car until now. Car has 115,000 miles. 35,000 in the last year. Day 1 the driver side air (dual air) stopped blowing cold, passenger side blows even colder now. Day 2 Air seems back to normal. (Probably unrelated to this issue). Day 3 Drove to work everything seemed fine. At lunch after car started it seemed to run a little ruff and the gas petal was 'hard' to press the first time. Seemed to run fine but idled ruff. Temp gauge ran higher than normal but did not run hot. Drove after work for about 2 miles ... car started to run hotter so had the car towed home BEFORE it ran hot. Car now will not start, it cranks strong but does not start. Fuel appears to be flowing. Replies to this message: diaz5 (Sep 25, 2006 8:42 pm)

Replying to: court0013 (Sep 03, 2006 4:21 pm) I had the same problem with my 99 GT. I removed the plastic housing from the steering column, then I put one of those plastic ties(riot cuffs) around the button to hold it in permanently. When you put the cover back on, no one will ever know. There is no way I would put the money into a new part to fix this. Too many other problems.

#946 of 980 1997 grand prix gt by dumbblonde Sep 17, 2006 (4:14 pm)
While driving down the road, my gt will die. Have changed fuel filter, plugs, etc. Mechanics do not know the problem. Replies to this message: mmxer (Sep 17, 2006 8:01 pm) lkerr (Sep 26, 2006 1:19 pm)
