So I have a 2006 Pontiac Grand prix 3.6L V6
Overall Symptoms: Engine loses power then surges/jerks, Metallic Grinding on front driver side(NOT when braking), gouging in Driver side rotor(Brake pad worn only on driver side), Metallic jangling sound over bumps, Engine Light Always ON and Flashes when driving, RPMs Pulse when Idling or around 2000 RPMs causing a stall(started today), Water sloshing sound when accelerating or turning
What I have done recently: I changed the upper and lower head gaskets(Not sure if I set the Lash properly on the rockers) and Timing cover gasket(due to Coolant leak), new spark plugs, new wires, new coil, new power module
Engine Code: Random Misfires
I work on my own car, but I am just learning how. I need this car to get to School and Work and I don't have alot of money. I am trying to Dial into the root cause without spending a boatload of money on things that don't work.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
