1995 Pontiac Grand Am 4 cyl Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
My sister gave me a pontiac 1995 grand am and at first it was all fine and dandy, the AC was perfect, the brakes were fine,...a wheel alighnment was needed and but that was just about it. When I drive the car for about 15-25 minutes, if I slow down or stop at a light, it would shake on me then turn off. To hurry up and get it to work quickly, I have to do this REALLY FAST in THIS ORDER!:
A) Start the car
B) Put in D or D2
C) and Slam on the gas to Pull off
If that doesnt work I have to let the car sit there for about 30 minutes and then try the same procedure again. now, the car wont even turn on. its been sitting in my drive way for almost 2 years now. What is the problem and what needs to be done to fix it please?
