    Hey guys havent posted in a while, but i need some help
    Grand prix GTP when i am driving will have complete power loss, i push the gas and nothing happens wont even rev up. As it coasts down to speed it starts jerking reving to about 4k rpms and back down and so on, lights will flicker and then it dies, and wont start up again for like 5 mis. Any ideas? I took it to the shop and he suggested dirty intake, so i cleaned it with sea foam, still no luck, took it back he suggested spark plugs, got new ones, still no luck, took it back a 3rd time and he replaced the catalytic converter, and it ran well for a while but last night it did the same thing on the highway so any input would be super helpful thanks guys

    I'd make sure the throttlebody's operating correctly.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
