Big question; did you fit a complete strut (including road springs) on both sides?

Sitting low front or back is a strong indication the road springs are weak, broken or simply wrong. It is a common misunderstanding about the function of shock absorbers - the strut or semi-strut is merely a shock absorber and many have been fruitlessly replaced in the vain hope they will correct a low trim height.

If you replaced the complete assembly both sides it would be wise to measure the trim height. Obtain the official trim height dimension and ignore the false distance after the vehicle has been jacked up - unladen and on level ground and leaving the vehicle in neutral with the parking brake off, roll the car backwards a few feet and then forwards a few feet take the measurements in the prescribed manner.
Measurements could be from wheel arch to the tyre, to the wheel centre or to the ground depending on manufacturer. If the rear is still low after both springs have been replaced then either you have fitted the wrong springs or the front is too high because someone else has fitted the wrong ones.

It is important, incidentally, where a bolt through a rubber bush has been loosened or removed during that sort of work, they are tightened only with the suspension in the road-going condition, ie., with the vehicle on the wheels...

SOURCE: starts and runs 3-5 seconds and shuts down

Sounds like your security system is shutting the car down. You should be able to leave the key on for 15 minutes and it will reset itself. Make sure you are using factory keys, and they are in good condition.

SOURCE: My 2004 grand prix hesitates when I accelerate,

If the oxygen sensors have not been recently replaced, a new one should be installed. Also, perform a fuel pump pressure test. Clean fuel injection system including throttle bore, idle speed control motor and passages. If the problem still exists, scan the computer for trouble codes.
also check if Mass Air Flow Senor is operating below were it should. This condition gives you low power, replace to recheck system.

SOURCE: 1995 Grand Prix: my pontiac grand prix abs light is on 1995 grand ...

sensor might be dirty, try removing them and cleaning them. Dont use sprays as they pose a threat more than they fix. Check tires to see if there is one that might be WAY lower than the rest. Or consider taking it to a shop if you cant find the rigth abs sensor.

1999 grand prix will not move in drive i put it in drive give it the gas and it just sits there i have to start out in low 1 and get the car moving and then mannualy work up thru the gears to drive.

Have a tranny shop test drive this, but I will be willing to bet you just have a transmission that is in need of a rebuild. Don't install a transmission until it is properly diagnosed by a transmission shop expert.

My 1995 range rover sits very low and it jumps up and down every time i drive it. what could it be?

the struts are air struts, there is probably a leak in one or more than one. The strut is VERY expensive to replace, part is expensive labor is only a couple of hours. I would look for a used one!!

Rear suspension of 1994 Grand Prix bad.

i have owned two 1994 grand prix's and both developed the same problem you are refering to.
i have to agree with the last solution, if the rear is sitting lower, it's time to look at your rear struts. BUT... the GM used a fibreglass monoleaf transverse spring in the rear and the fibre glass spring is suppose to sit on a nylon cushion on both knucles. on both of my vehicles i had the nylon cushion fall or get knocked out. the parts cost about $20.00cdn and can easily be installed without removong the spring. In both cases it solved the sound of metal on metal rubing sound. I also changed the rear struts soon after i replaced the cushions because i noticed they were worn.

hope it helps cheers!
