automotive mystery, any help would be appreciated
my friend has a 2004 pontiac grand prix with the 3800 v6. he says it has been hesitating slightly whenver he hammers on it. i drove it and i noticed a slight hesitation.
he's an idiot and thought he accidently drained his transmission when he was changing his motor, but no fluid came up...and yet he continued driving it. besides this stupidity, upon looking over it briefly, it seems like its in good shape and has 60,000 miles approximately.
i checked the transmission and the fluid is beautiful and was well within the operating range. i checked the bolt he took out when he thought he accidently drained it and it wasn't the drain plug at all, but rather one of the bolts holding the thing together. no leaks or anything. so i think tranny issues are out. the air filter was clean. spark plugs are 100,000 mile spark plugs and all the wires leading to them were in order. the check engine light is not on.
the only thing i could think of was maybe a fuel filter which he says he has not replaced since he bought the car at 30,000 miles. however, he says the thing starts up fine.
im gonna put a new fuel filter on it this weekend. anyone have any other things i should look at or any other theories?
it is the middle of winter and it hasn't gotten above freezing in a while.
