I need some help on this one.
I have a ’01 Grand Prix 3.lL SE.
Recently it started to act up without any check engine lights.
It left me stranded on the side of the road in more than one occasion.
It runs for some time without any hiccups and then at random times it starts to sputter/choke, RPMs drop, wants to shut off, almost like it was not getting enough fuel or air, during this I need to press the accelerator pedal down further so that it won’t turn off, and even then it is not always successful, sometimes it just turns off while driving, and after it shuts off doesn’t start right away either, cranks but no start, starts maybe a day later.
Doesn’t happen too much at wide-open throttle, mostly when slowly accelerating from a stop or low speed.
I replaced the fuel filter already, no effect. Air filter is clean. Throttle plate is clean and not sticking. Battery and connections are good. No check engine codes.
I am very lost on this one. Anybody else have this happen to them before? How did you fix it? Please help me.
