Hi. I have a 98 Grand Prix with a 3.8. Has a little over 110 thousand rounds...
** Firstly -> About 2 weeks ago it started to hesitate when put into reverse when first turned on and then again when changing from reverse to drive. Feels as if it wants to die. A couple of days after that when I wsa driving it just died. I was going around 20-25 miles per hour and only slightly on the accelerated. Obviously it was quite scary when the power steering and brakes and all that go out. Changed fuel pump and spark plugs... not sure?
** Secondly -> It runs really hot in low speeds or gets really hot while idling quite quickly. Changed thermostat and check antifreeze, fine... it's usually up near 210... is that normal?
** Thirdly -> The keyless entry with trunk opener only works when it wants to (the unlock and lock work fine, the trunk opener only works every now and then). I've tried reprogramming it and its the same... is there anything I can do?
Sorry... thanks so much for the help!
