i have a 2001 Pontiac grand Prix gt 3800 series. for some reason, when i start it in the cold like below (32 degrees Fahrenheit) or (below 0 degrees Celsius) the runs fine in park. but when it gets a bit warmer or the car is already warm, it runs for a good 10- 15 secs until it will shut off...unless i give it gas to keep it going, then it runs. the car is not located at my house so i cant tell you exactly what the obd II reader told me, but it said stuff along the lines of "mass air flow sensor low input, " turbine low input, exhaust sensor A and B low input"
i have a feeling that it might be a bad MAF sensor or might just need to be cleaned, but before i start on anything i would like your guys opinions. thanks a lot.
