Upon accelerating onto the highway, after reaching highway speed, vehicle stalls and would not start. Flooding engine, gasoline coming out of exhaust, engine would not restart. After research and replacing leaking lower intake manifold, this was not my problem there was no leak. After more research I replaced more sensors and eventually cylinder gaskets and lower intake gasket again. Still engine would not start. After 2 years of car sitting I unplugged maf sensor and then it started finally. Faulty maf sensor but no way to find out unless it is unplugged because sensor did not give off any pertaining fault code pointing to the problem specifically.

I purchased a 1999 pontiac bonneville from manamara pontiac in orlando fl., used our 3 ed one. My wife was driving it to her grands and it started shaking and lunged then quit all of a sudden. The car gave no warning and after a bit it cranked but ran rough. I towed it home and changed the ignition coils, spark plugs and a few other things and it never would run. So I took it to starling pontiac and they said that the plenum that was on the car was bad in fact it had a defect. The service manager told me (roy) that they have had problems with them. Gm called me and said they were closing my case from the bbb because it wasn't a new car from the dealer. I explained that I sent it to you them and others to get it noted. This is a saftey hazzard if it happens on the interstate or in heavey down town traffic. I went to michagan and was told there by gm workers that they had the same thing happen to their new car and the dealer fixed it free and it wasn't wnder warranty. It just seems strange that they don't admit they have a problem.m

The car started stalling and I replaced the plugs, ignition coils (3ea), fuel pressure regulator, took to dealer and their is a seal in the intake that have had problems and it leaked water into the cylinders a little at a time and then let go. They knew they had problems with it, they said so. Est cost $1000.00, then they will see if the engine is still good. So it could need a new engine.
