Car starts but will not idle

I have the same car. My solution was to first test the TPS, throttle position sensor, test is on Autozone site. 2nd, test the three wires that go to the TPS for integrity(simple volt meter set to ohms scale- readings should be close to zero if the wires are intact and not broken or touching a ground.) TPS sensor runs around 17 to 28 dollars. Ill bet you a dollar to a doughnut hole thats your problem my friend

Push down on gas pedal bogging then goes

It could possibly be that there is a wore spot on your throttle position sensor (TPS). It basically is connected to the cable running to the gas pedal and tells the computer how much you're pushing down on the pedal.If you find that it's bogging down more and more often (like when you need more power climbing hills and never really gets going), it could be that your catalytic converter is clogged, but this will eventually throw some check engine lights.

1990 grand prix idles but dies when you try to take off. why

Could be low fuel pressure, a vac leak, or a faulty throttle position sensor. If the check engine light is on you would check the computer for trouble codes next.

Car turns over but will not start . client says the codes told him it was a nutral sending switch , which was replaced and yet the condition continues . any idea which direction to look .

If the car is cranking, the neutral switch is ok. you need to check for fuel to the injectors, which you can do by spraying starting fluid into air cleaner ( brake-cleaner or carb cleaner also work for this) if still no start, check for spark. If no spark, check coils and spark plugs. also commonly these cars loose the crank sensor due to failing harmonic balancers. you can check this by looking at the lower engine pulley while someone turns over the engine. if the pulley is loose or moving up and down, start there.

Where can i find the mass air senor on a 1990 pontiac grand prix please help!!!!!!!

This car doesn't use a Mass Airflow Sensor, it uses another way of measuring the air entering the engine.The problem you have is likely caused by the problem listed below.

ngine stalling issue at low speeds

This problem is commonly caused by a dirty automatic idle speed control valve and throttle valve. Buy a can of throttle valve cleaner from NAPA or Carquest (made by CRC chemicals) and spray it into the air intake while the engine is running, use up about 1/2 the can, engine will try to stall hold the speed up, shut it down and let it soak for 30 minutes, restart and blow out the remaining fluid, shut it down and disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 Min's to reset the base idle control
