Engine Performance problem
2001 Pontiac Firebird 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic
i have a 2001 pontiac firebird 3.8 v6. ran fine every since i've owned it. bad o2 code showing(again since i've owned it). the problem started after the belt broke. i replaced it, then i turned it around and parked it. about an hour later i went to start and it's running real ruff and dies after about thirty seconds(faster if i give it gas), when it dies it pops thru the intake(like it it out of time). every once in awhile it will run fine for about 20 minutes and when i shut it off and restart it it won't run again. when the belt it hit the coolent tempature sensor, i was told that if it was bad that it would make the car run like that. i replaced it and the car ran fine for 20 minutes, even restarted fine. went back to drive it and it isn't running again. any ideas? please help.
