Driving home from work today, I got stuck in a bit of traffic. I was crawling along, then my 2000 Grand Prix GT died. Seemed kind of strange, as the sat radio, radio, and GPS worked fine, and windows went up and down fine. No check engine light either.
So I tried restarting. Car ran for a bit, but as soon as my foot came off the gas, it died. If I kept giving the car gas, it would keep running.
I had it towed to a shop that's close by, they probably won't be able to look at it until Monday. I just had a bunch of work on it in February, including plugs and wires. I haven't done any modding since April.
Didn't sound like a starter, and when the engine was running, it sounded fine. Probably not the battery either, since everything was running when I was stopped. Bad battery cables or alternator? Vacuum leak? I don't think the fuel filter was replaced back in April. Any thing else I can suggest to the shop to reduce the labor for checking it out?
