Motor & Transaxle Mounts --- may be the issue
If so--- replace them--- all
Put your foot on the brake & put into fwd & rev, while
someone looks under the hood at the motor movement
Have them off to the side & torque the motor some against
the brake
Also check cv axle joints--- once the mounts are taken care of

SOURCE: 2006 Pontiac Wave jumps out of gear.

it might be the start up gear or the transmission or engine might need to check the oil. i think that the transmission needs replacing.

I think its you alternator, the battery and alternator kind of work back to back with each other. I will take the car to shop that you know and can trust and have them diagnose the car all together. Good Luck.

SOURCE: Rpms jumping

Hi, I had the same problem, the car kept accelrating and the RPM needle kept jumping, I turned off the cruise control and I had no problem after that. I do however have problems with my cruise control as I do other electrical issues. Anyhow, I believe this would fix your problem. Please let me know what happens:)

Your transmission is "downshifting" which is a normal function...However if it's happening early, the throttle cable may be out of adjustment. This does not happen in 3rd gear because that's how the system is designed. Downshifting is a 4 (od) to 3rd gear shift...if already in 3rd, this won't happen. As long as trans shifts normally on flat ground with no slipping or delayed shifts, just service it regularly and it should be fine.

My 2002 grand prix gt gas gauge doesnt always read properly, when i fill it up reads right, but always says full rare times while driving it will read correct, and after driving i put in park, and let idle...

replace the gas tank unit. 99 percent of the problems of this type require the tank unit to be replaced. it is a flaw with the GM cars, that GM refuses to have a recall on.

I have a 2002 grand prix gt v6 3.8. The car was running fine then out of know where it wouldn't start. After getting a jump I drove it home and the same thing happend when I tryed to leave again. I can...

Dont have a solution but i have a 3.1 and its doing the same thing. we checked fuel press. and its fine but some one told me that its the fuel pump because if you drive on a half a tank of gas or less the fuel pump is not cooling off properly so it shuts eng. off. cause fuel pump is going bad and it will not show any codes if tested. so i am replacing the fuel pump $260 hopefully this will solve the problem but try driving with full tank of gass it should not do it as often but after about 10 min car should start after it dies.

My car engine idles high then jumps into gear from park to drive whats the problem

most likely the idle air control motor needs removed and cleaned , also clean where it mounts. you can use carb, cleaner to clean valve. but do not push on needle valve on end, cause it is preset for correct idle. an old toothbrush or similar will work to clean the valve. do not put valve body in any liquid to clean. it should run between 650 and 700 rpms in drive.
