My 1999 Pontiac Montana would seem to "skip a beat" while driving. It then started stalling and restarting, all while driving at highway speeds. My mechanic found that an electrical cable that carried an engine sensor signal was leaning against a hot part of the engine. The cable insulation had melted or worn through, causing intermittent shorts. The shorts confused the engine computer, which then stalled the engine. He simply rerouted the cable and all was fine after that.
There are a few reasons why a Pontiac 3.4 liter engine may die while driving. The battery cables may of come undone, a spark plug may need changed, or the fuel pump could of stopped working.
Check the coolant level. Not just the bottle but in the radiator too. The 3400 motor is known for leaking coolant at the intake manifold.
If your 1994 Pontiac Trans Am randomly stalls out while driving, you may have clogged fuel injectors or a bad distributor. Check the distributor first, as this is the easiest to replace.
it would be best because you could tear the old ones while removing them.
It could be the electrical ignition system. there is a recall, dealers will replace the ignition relay free of charge. check it out. Pontiac tele. #1-800-620-7668
crankshaft position censor
If you want to turn off the running lights off try to engage the emergency brakes. I have a 2000 Montana and that works.
the battery is flat or its to old
try changing the throttle position sensor
probably a bad camshaft sensor.
probably fuel filter or a simple tune up
