    hello everyone....im looking at getting a 02 gp just had a few questions about them.
    main question is whats the good and bads on the 3.1 engines? and why would the car shake some when you would get into the gas then stop when you let out of it?

    pass on it, the 3100 is a turd.


    issue at hand is likely the cv shafts are bad.

    Good- can't think of any really
    Bad- pain in the ass to flush and fill coolant. Underpowered for these cars IMO.
