2000 GA 3.4 - Lack Of power.

A friend has a 2000 Grand Am w/ the 3400 and he says it has no power, when you step on the gas it will not go above 2 grand on the tach and has no power at all.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks
Joe

Re: 2000 GA 3.4 - Lack Of power.

lots of stuff can cause lack of performance.
The worst probly being heat soak.

How many miles?
Has he gav his GA a tune-up recently?

When you say it wont go over 2k rpms,
is that with the car moving(forward),
or is it in park/neutral when it only goes to 2k rpms?

I dunno about the tune-up, was not much of a concern since the engine will not rev above 2k, this is while driving, I am not sure about while in park or neutral.

Re: 2000 GA 3.4 - Lack Of power.

if the plugs and wires checked out ,
then he could hav other problems causing the "lack of power".

A fuel filter, bad coils packs,
EGR not working proprly.
Evn a vacum leak at the manifold, these could be hoses on the intake or gaskets on the intake leaking air in

Hav alot of miles on the car?
