"Take off the TB and check that the EGR ports are clear - mine were plugged with black crud and had similar prob. Clean-out with solvent and air and works fine now. "
I took off the tb and tried to clean as much black [censored] off as i could but right inside the intake head thing. there are some litle pokey things sticking up, are those the things your saying to clean. btw: what is the EGR ports. Sorry i dont have the contour lingo down yet. I know just about everything there is to knwo about grand am's but the contours' engine is quite new to me. thanks every one for your help so far. the throttle hang problem is that when the gas peddle sticks while driving, and where can i find the fix to this, i tried putting a little rubber door stop on the adjustment screw and that helped but it isnt permanient. thanks
