Re: 2001 grand am dies when i hit a decent sized bump
If I were you, I would find a smoother road to drive! Seriously, you should check the battery under load and inspect the cables for corrosion & tightness. If you have the side terminals, they are notorious for loosing contact between the two "piggyback" positive cables. All grounds must also be clean & tight! Also, check the PCM wiring connector for tightness,where it connects to the PCM.
