Bought the car new and I really do love my car. Since I've bought the car in Apr 2010 I've had this problem. Upon starting, all the gauges go to max then go to 0 then the car decides if it wants to stay started or stall. If I rev the engine, even just a teeny bit, it will stay started. Go figure. I really do like this car. :( I was told it could be a PCM, but i'm a broke pharmacy student.

Ok bought and '04 Grand prix about a month ago, seemed mechanicly fine. Etest and Certified no problem. 2 days later, started stalling everytime I started it, have to push gas to keep it started, rev's high. For the past week or so, car seems to loose power or something while driving, slows down by its self, cant push gas, shutters, chugg's, for about 2-3 min then bust's forward and drives. Mechanic said it was the mass air flow, replced that and still haveing same problem, and getting worse!!!! HELP!!!!

When I go to start my car, the engine will turn over but then it'll shutter and stall. My mechanic wasn't sure what it could be but he said it could be that I had water in the computer. One of my friends said that GM's seemed to have this problem a lot and that it was usually a bad coil. The stalling can usually be counteracted by giving the car some gas as I start it.

Sometimes on start up I'll have to hit the gas to get the car to actually start and if I don't, it will start and then turn right back off. Ive been told it may have to do with the security system but not quite sure. It doesn't always do this but it does do this on occasion.

hey people if you have a Grand Prix Gt, what you need to due to take care off it. These cars need a little TLC. Frist thing if you have problem starting it. all you need to due Is Clean out your Throttle Body with a simple Cleaner from Autozone. $2 easy fix..... bought this car in 04, only this these car are bad on is breaks and tires. but what due you expect from a four door sports car. Ya know.. and also the best engine every put in to a GM car is the 3.8L V6. this engine loves a little oil every know and then between oil change so due your car right let it have a drink. :take care people, their great cars if you take care off them. i know mine will due every bit Of 200,000 miles if i decied to keep it that long
