2003 Pontiac Montana Overview
The 2003 Pontiac Montana minivan comes in a regulard 112-inch wheelbase and an extended 120-inch wheelbase. All feature front-wheel drive, but the extended also are available with Versatrak all-wheel drive capability, to help wanderlust parents forget they're driving a minivan.
Initially the Value trim only came with the shorter wheelbase, but in 2003, it is also offered in extended form. Though billed as Value, this trim still comes with many standard features, such as foglights, cruise control, power windows, locks, and mirrors, roof rack, remote entry, and a tachometer. It does not come with ABS, which is standard on all other 2003 Montana models. Dual sliding doors are standard across the line, and you can get a power option for both as well. Other nice options include heated seats, a rear parking assist sensor, and air compressor.
While WonkaVision shrunk Mike TeeVee so small, his mom could hide him in her purse, MontanaVision (the 2003 Montana's DVD system) will shrink your kids' argument quotient and keep them hidden from you as they are ensconced with the one feature that all harried Montana parents seem to love. The dual sliding doors are also greatly appreciated. Other highlights include the easy handling, the roominess and cargo flexibility, the sporty SUV styling, and the overall affordability. Ongoing mechanical problems (transmission, intake manifold) and easily broken plastic parts are downsides of the 2003 Montana. Owners also wish for more horsepower, a third row seat that folds into the floor, and better acceleration.

Montana03 I had a problem that I have searched for over a year for a solution. My Montana would not restart once the engine was hot. During my research I found that this problem and similar problems were very common on this model. The engine never overheated, after the engine was running for a while and cut off the engine won't restart until the engine cooled. I had changed relays, checked the wiring and taken the car to more mechanics than I cam remember. I wish to share my solution. I ordered the Montana service manual for $19.00 on the assumption that it would give me a clue. I learned from this manual that the engine temperature senor and the fuel pump senor shared the same module. This lead me to the cooling system. The manual showed me how to check the thermostat and water pump without removing either. Following their directions I was pointed to the water pump as the problem. The water pump wasn't stuck or noisy. I changed my water pump, my problems were solved.
