Hi,
The pass lock anti theft is on with service light and motor runs poorly in park and when I try to drive the car then the motor stalls. I can restart the motor but can't drive the car.
Please can you help?

Hello, I'm Danny.
Having the anti-theft and check engine light on means there are trouble codes stored in your cars computer.If you don't have access to a scanner/code reader most auto parts stores will check for free (AutoZone). Here is a tutorial showing what is involved:
Scroll to the bottom after reading to find the Pontiac instructions.Once you have the code(s) read get back to us with the information to help properly diagnose the problem.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
