Pontiac Repair: 2000 Bonnieville stalls, engine computer, bonnieville


Question
My 2000 Belleville (V-6) will idle rough until you hit the gas and get the RPM up pretty high (that is how I got it home) I then tried to start it to go to work, it started for about 3 seconds then stalled. I waited several hours and restarted the car and it ran, I then hit the gas and it stalled seems that the Tach moves up and down a bit. Thanks

Answer
Hi Whitney:

well form what you discribed to me that it dies when you hit the gas makes me think you have some sort of a fuel delivery issue. either a restricted fuel filter or a fule pump that is pro producing enough pressure or volume to keep the car running. Has any service engine soon lamp come on? If so that is what I would look into first any codes that are stored in the engine computer will give you a clue as to where to start looking for this. Good luck :)
