My 2000 Bonneville did the exact same thing. It's the mass flow air sensor I'm almost 100% sure this is what your problem is.

After it gets hot and cuts off and won't start, try pouring or spraying water on the crank sensor then see if it will crank. You may have another bad crank sensor.

    if the crank sensor is bad it will still crank over but it wont run,it happened to mine it has nothing to do with the starter.could be the starter soilenod on the starter or loose wires

    If you have a starting problem as it will not crank over you need to check and clean all three battery cable connectors to the battery, replace bolts.

    My car will crank up just fine but if I keep my foot off the accelerater it will sputter and chug and then die.

Ck engine light stay on

I battled this on my 1999 Buick Century with 3.1 liter engine...
After replacing the Crank Sensor (located under the harmonic balancer if anyone needs to know) that was not the problem.
Replaced coil packs and Ignition Control Module...again NOT the problem.
I replaced the Oxygen Sensors...NOT the problem.
I replaced intake gaskets, NOT the problem BUT highly recommended (because they are made of recycled plastic with a rubber seal strip, and yes they WILL crack and ruin an engine...look for any signs of coolant seepage around theis are...FYI)
The problem was the EGR valve, but also know, that if the EGR is the problem, you will need to clean out the "port" leading back under the fuel plantum with a very stiff piece of heavy guage steel wire.
Hope this helps and best of luck !

My 2003 Pontiac Bonneville has a fault code of p0300 random cylindar misfire. How would you go about fixing it?

A code P0300 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
* Faulty spark plugs or wires
* Faulty coil (pack)
* Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
* Faulty fuel injector(s)
* Burned exhaust valve
* Faulty catalytic converter(s)
* Stuck/blocked EGR valve / passages
* Faulty camshaft position sensor
* Defective computer

Possible Solutions:
* If there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.
* If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors.

Random misfires that jump around from one cylinder to another (read: P030x codes) also will set a P0300 code. The underlying cause is often a lean fuel condition, which may be due to a vacuum leak in the intake manifold or unmetered air getting past the airflow sensor, or an EGR valve that is stuck open.

Hope helps (remember to rate this).
