yes, but it could ne 1 of a lot of things. check your air intake first and make sure nothing is blocking up the airflow. if it is that or something is broke on the air intake system it will only cost around 100 to fix otherwise it could be engine, trans, or many many other problems. if your check engine light is on then tak it somewhere and hook it up. that will be your best bet.

I bought EGR Valve & Catalytic Converter for 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 3.8L with 225k on Friday, Saturday I had it installed, I should of done the EGR myself just I'm not good with those things & didn't know if I replaced the EGR before the Catalytic Converter if that would mess anything up one before the other as I don't want to be stranded. Only thing is after those 2 things were replaced it still runs like crap. Suggestions? I've asked around. I've been told to get it hooked up to a computer. I contacted another mechanic in MN & he told me take the throttle body off & clean well & then replace.??? 8 Answers
