hey everyone! new member on the forums! i have a question for you experts...lets see if you have the same conclusion as me. :-D
ok
i have a 2004 grand prix gt2 with the 3800 series III. it will start up when you turn the key, but only very brief...as in it will stall before it even shows the gauges go into the test mode or whatever. UNLESS i give it throttle. if i do that then it will stay on. it feels like it runs good after that. no other noticeable issues. here is what i know. my car has 115k on it and ive had it since 25k. it came with a k&n...this all started at about 50k..maybe 60k...i took it to a dealer but they just reflashed the ecu or something back when it was in warranty.
i think the k&n just got oil on the MAF or there is something wrong with the idle control motor? am i off base in thinking this may be it?
