    I'm new here obviously, and I don't know much about cars.

    I've recently come into a 98 GTP, nice car. Has problems.

    I tried looking for a repair manual to help me out, Haynes manual plainly states that it does not include supercharged motors, and I heard that Chilton is not well explained.

    Pontiac Grand Prix Haynes Repair Manual - 1988-2005 Pontiac Grand Prix - Haynes H1638010 Well, maybe this one, but it doesn't say specifically.

    Anyway, what I basically want to know....the location of these parts.

    Mass air flow sensor, and the Idle Air Control Valve.

    The car occasionally stutters at a stop sign, has died once, then accelerates somewhat jerky.

    Other suggestions for what might be the cause are welcome.

    Thank you kindly. I haven't driven the car much at all, twice to be exact. Want to get the basics out of the way first.
