Grand Prix 3.1 question
Earlier today i went out with my mom and test drove a 1995 Grand Prix SE with the 3100 3.1 litre v6. When i gave it some gas it barely did anything. I had to darn near put the pedal all the way to the floor for somewhat of a reaction. It was low on gas so maybe that was it? My mom'* mini-van had more pick-up than this thing. I was wondering if this is what all Grand Prix'* with the 3100 v6 are like or if it was just because the one i test drove was low on gas or in need of some type of tune- up. I know that this is a BONNEVILLE forum but bonnevilles and grand prix'* are both pontiacs so i was just wondering. Thanks.

Well, i dont know though. Im not quite sure what grand prixs should sound like, it didnt make any knocks or pings and didnt sound like it needed a tune-up (dont quote me on this...im not a grand prix mechanic) and i didnt notice any check engine lights coming on. Too bad they didnt put 3800s in grand prixs till '97..... bastards

So im still not quite sure.... if i give it some gas should it get moving a little faster? I mean i had to put the pedal down to the floor and even then not much. My mom'* mini-van would have kicked this grand prix'* butt in a drag..... i was REALLY dissappointed.
