Try unhooking both battery terminals. Hook up the jumper cables to the terminals. Then try starting the car. If it doesn't work then your battery cables might be corroded, broke or shorting out. If it starts then its the battery

I have a 99 pontiac grand am se 3.4L V6. The issue is that it starts and idles fine but as soon as I go to accelerate it just shuts off. It did have overheating issues but right after I fixed those it started doing this. I replaced the cam position sensor and also the engine coolant temp sensor and it didnt help. I was thinking of replacing the ignition coil packs and housi g but not sure if that would fix it. There are no check engine lights or stored codes . 4 Answers
