When the problem occurs, are you saying, the vehicle cranks good but won't start?

Go with the basics, have helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs. If you have plenty of spark, check the fuel system.

If you can't check for codes yourself, some of the national brand autostores will check codes for free, if you can get it down there.

I just wanted to add, I don't think I've ever seen a v8 four wheel drive pontiac grand prix?
