Engine upgrades highlight the changes to the 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix. A redesigned 3.1 V6 now gets 175-hp, and due to new intake and camshaft improvements, it rates better on emissions and creates less noise and shudder. This engine comes standard on the SE sedan, though the SE is most often sold as a fleet car. The more popular GT and GTP sedan and coupe feature the much more exciting 3.8-liter, 200-hp V6 (240-hp in the supercharged GTP). All come with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Other changes include a slightly restyled front end and a now standard anti-theft system. A limited number of Daytona Race Car coupes were produced as part of the 2000 Grand Prix lineup. These featured a spoiler, dual hood scoops, 16-inch performance tires, and special badging. The 3800 engine power is a favorite of 2000 Grand Prix drivers. It is fast, thrilling, and has a lot of kick you wouldn't expect in a heavy mid-sized car. Handling is the number one compliment, as it is both sporty, sure-footed, and feels like a smaller car. Acceleration is smooth and instant. Drivers like the interior space and all the optional touches, like the heads-up display and heated seats, and overall they think the Grand Prix packs in a lot of power and luxury at a much cheaper price (and insurance costs) than comparable cars. Negatives include a faulty window regulator, frequent squeaks and rattles, cheap plastic parts, the tendency for interior door panels to fall off, and problems with the electrics and transmission.
I have a 2000 Pontiac GP with the 3800 non supercharged. Car will crank but no start. Depressing the throttle the engine will start but dies. I can hear the fuel pump pumping with key in acc. I have cleaned the MAF and the throttle body. No change.
I can restart it about 50% of the time after it stalls; otherwise,I need a jump or tow to get it home, I first thought it was a security issue and went through the steps to make sure computer recognized key, but problem continued. I checked my fuel pump, replaced oil and fuel filter (it would only accept a few dollars of gas, replaced fuel sensor fixed that issue). I replaced the battery and terminals, starter, alternator, relay switches, cleaned MAF sensor and it still stalls randomly when starting and driving down the road. No codes are coming up. Besides junking it any other suggestions?
I have a 2000 Grand Prix and one day my boyfriend was driving it to work and got two blocks away from work and the low oil light came on so he checked it was completely out of oil so he filled it back up to where it was supposed to be and when he got home and everything seems to be still be fine I went to go take it for a drive in the oil light was on again and it started knocking slightly the more I drove it a little bit more it start knocking when I pulled back in my driveway I had noticed there was a big puddle of oil when he starts the car you can see it dripping out the bottom and now I've gotten even worse it just like squirt up he says it looks like a little round thing with two screws that it's leaking out of what could this possibly be
