Pontiac Repair: 95 grand am 3100 Hesitating/stalling/lugging, coil pack, pressure and volume


Question
Hi Todd, I have a '95 Grand Am w/ a 3.1 V6. If I try to accelerate with more than about 5% throttle, the engine slows and eventually stalls. I had this car diagnosed and they told me it was bad plug wires. Replaced them along with the air filter, PCV valve, and Water pump(not related). It seemed to improve but within a week it was worse. I found a Short circuit in the coil pack between a yellow and black wires on passanger side of coil pack(timing sensor?) and repaired it. But I'm still getting terrible hesitation and it acts as if its starved for fuel.

Answer
Hey Leonard:

It sounds the way you discribed it as it is starving for fule. Did you check the fule pressure and volume from the pump? What happend to the wires you said were "shorted" did they melt on the egr valve pipe? you could have a sensor that is reading wrong and throwing off the fuel delivery. If you have a scan tool or a code reader that would help as well. sorry I couldn't be of much more help :(
