its got a new map sensor, and ive installed 2 junkyard EGR valves. It idles fairly smooth, but usually too high (1000-1200 rpm). put it in gear idle drops to normal 600-800 rpm. push the pedal on the right it sputters and dies instantly. 3.1 L V-6. 230,000 miles.

Worn out fuel pump.
Yes, the one in the fuel tank.
Try a fuel filter first though. They're a lot cheaper and easier.

i BOUGHT A oLSMOBILE ONCE !!! NEVER AGAIN !!! I had it a couple months & the engine blew -- we were young marrieds and had NO MONEY, just by luck we had bought a policy on it and it paid for the repairs (about $3k) and we IMMEDIATELY TRADED it in on a CHEVY !!!! Which we had for 12 years b4 we sold it -- NEVER A PROBLEM -- STILL RUNNING GREAT !!!
