So for the last 2 days my 2002 grand am has been shutting off. I could be getting off the freeway, or at a light. It starts back up but when I shift it drive, it shuts off.

It starts just fine but cuts off after
driving awhile. Keep reving it to keep

and have to gun it so it wont cut
off. Power stering gets hard when it

Not sure about 2002 but my 2005 Grand Am was recalled to fix the ignition. Call a GM dealer to see if your car is on recall for anything

I have a 99 pontiac grand am se 3.4L V6. The issue is that it starts and idles fine but as soon as I go to accelerate it just shuts off. It did have overheating issues but right after I fixed those it started doing this. I replaced the cam position sensor and also the engine coolant temp sensor and it didnt help. I was thinking of replacing the ignition coil packs and housi g but not sure if that would fix it. There are no check engine lights or stored codes . 4 Answers

My service engine light soon as been on for about a week. I took it to AutoZone for the diag test. They said it could be a bad oxygen sensor or fuel switch. I was wondering how long I can drive the car before I get it fixed? I was hoping to wait 3 weeks before I take it in, but I am afraid I will break down while driving to work or cause more damage to the car? Thank you! 2 Answers
