code p102 Login - Sign Up

1999 Olds Intrigue Code p102: Car was idling low and would continuously shut off while driving. This was causing it hard to steer off road. It would happen when stopped at the light AND while accelerating. Used all the ideas we could find and think of but now were LOST. We had changed the MAS and cleaned all connectors, no wires are damaged, no air leaks, replaced the MAP, Replaced the air filter, replaced pcv valve... engine service light is still on. Any ideas?! PLEASE HELP!!

That's not a bad thing. Your just misdiagnosing the problem.

What engine does it have?

You can't just assume the sensor is the cause of the problem because there are numerous other possibilities such as any of the related wiring or the PCM itself.

Here is the factory flow chart for diagnosing that code on that car.

Yes, I'm afraid diagnostics is a lot more than just reading codes and changing parts.
