Sometimes would start right back up and other times would not start for 3-30 mins.Just above both sliding doors (left and right side) on the drip rail there is aproximately a 3 inch crack in the seam of the sheet metal in a total of 4 spots.The dealer states I will have to wait until for them to have their body shop which is not on site have a look at it. Worsening occaisional no-start condition with no spark. Ran well when it ran, but RPMs would randomly drop to zero and the engine would stall. Just wish someone would have made these all inclusive and accurate directions for me.Дў000 Grand Prix GT 3.8 non-supercharged engine was randomly stalling when at operating temperature, at any speed, at any rpm, or idling. You now have a car you can count on and need not worry about it dying while driving down the road.

Tighten your glued main bolt to 112 lbs plus 76 degrees. Place vicegrips on the flywheel or wedge something in the teeth.

To keep the engine from turning open the smalll access hole to the flywheel on the bottom of the car (two bolts). Line up the harmonic balancer with its cotter key deal and start pulling the balancer back on with a torque wrench. Remove the old sensor's two bolts, and save the part to torture in fire later. You'll be using thread glue on the main bolt when you put in in so you can use some of that on the shield where it connects if you mess up the plastic teeth on the shield a bit. No reason to remove the shield from the bolt farthest towards the rear of the car. Spread the teeth that connect the shield to its bolts with a small standard screwdriver and pull/pry just a bit. Remove crankshaft position sensor shield. Turn the puller's main bolt that it is pushing on the 3/8'extension you placed in the crank bolt's hole. I turned my specialty bolts 15 quarter turns into the harmonic balancer. Use washers or the bolt heads will gouge and pull through the puller. Make sure the bolts are straight, and inserted to an even depth into the harmonic balancer. The threads are farther in and not visible. Carefully, by hand, thread the specialty bolts through the puller and into the 3 holes on the balancer that seemingly have no threads. Place a short 3/8' extension in the crank bolt hole to protect the threads. 1/4-28 bolts, 3' long, one inch of thread is o.k. To pull off the harmonic balancer use a standard harmonic balancer puller, but you will need special grade 8 bolts and washers. Remember to disable the car from starting. Easiest way to do this without a doubt is to postion a flat wrench on the bolt, rest the boxed end of the wrench on the car frame in front of the harmonic balancer, and tap the starter. Remove the center bolt (15/16th inch head) from the harmonic balancer. Number and remove spark plug wires from the ignition control module so the car won't start.

The clips will probably break, so buy new ones at a hardware store later. Remove passenger side tire and the plastic wheel well. If you have decided to change yours out it is a $35 part and is DIY with the proper information, which follows, some ingenuity, and some mechanical apptitude: After much research and finding conflicting information I compiled a procedure with just the truthful parts I found and it worked beautifully and the car runs perfectly now. I didn't want to change the crankshaft position sensor because, quite frankly, it sucks. No traction light issues which sometimes occur when the crankshaft position sensor is failing. No check engine light and so no codes to pull. Sometimes would start right back up and other times would not start for 3-30 mins.
