Thread: My car dies out

I am having trouble with my 1995 pontiac grand prix with a 3.1 motor. I have replaced the crank shaft sensors, o2 sensor, fuel pump, alternator, and even the cars computer. I turn my car on and it dies on me. The battery light and the oil pan light come on. When I turn the car on if I give it gas real quick and shift into drive it doesn't die out on me just drives like it wants to shut off. I can't figure it out anymore and I am tired of wasting money at the mechanic. If I can't figure out what's wrong with it real soon I think i'm gonna junk it.

have you tested the ignition coils and wires

Don't give up on it man! Its probably something easy like a fuel filter, pcv, or cracked vac line ( never fails and its always the last thing you check) and If a cylinder was out it would feel like riding in a car with square wheels. At first i thought it was you key and the passlock system given you a hard time, but if your able to put it into drive it rules that one out. Sensors are easy most of the time because you will get a P#### code. But i have a hunch..... Bad injectors? Replying late I know. I don't think your pontiac deserves the junk yard!!
