2001 Pontiac Grand Am Rough Idle In Drive Only

The car runs finewhile you are driving and idles fine in Park, Neutral and reverse but when it is in drive it runs rough or vibrates. It doesn't quit running, just feels rough so when you are stopped, you put it in neutral until you are ready to go again.

Thank You

How do i fix a rough idle and stall?

Hi Cody:
I'd be checking all of the vacuum hoses and the PVC valve.
Also it wouldn't hurt to put some fuel conditioner like SEAFOAM through it.
My approach tends to be to make sure the basics are looked after before starting to second guess for major problems.
Cheers.

Rough idle, rough in drive

Is the check engine light on ?
Have you checked the computer for trouble codes ?
You could have one bad spark plug even with only 30k on it.
Problem could also be a dirty injector.

2004 freelander hse erratic idle in park, fine in drive

Do you know what engine scan data is ? Disconnecting sensors is not the way to find a problem ! What is the computer seeing as data input signals . Is the vehicle in closed loop fuel control , is the EGR opening when it shouldn't be , Is the PCM controlling the idle air control valve or is the vehicle drive by wire (electronic throttle control ?

1998 Pontiac Grand Prix shuts down in Drive or Reverse

When you remove your vehicle from park, the idle air control valve (electronic choke) operates to keep enough air going into the motor while you aren't using the throttle so it will stay running. If it is too dirty it can't move properly...you'll stall.
Pull out and clean or replace the idle air control valve.
