This video goes over how to replace a fuel tank pressure sensor on a 2004 Pontiac Bonneville with a 3.8 motor. This will be the same process for any (10th Generation) 2000-2005 Pontiac Bonneville. The fuel tank pressure sensor monitors the pressure or vacuum in the fuel tank and the EVAP system. It helps the vehicle’s computer (ECU or PCM) detect leaks, manage emissions, and control the purge valve operation. Common symptoms of a faulty fuel tank pressure sensor would be check engine light, failed emissions test, poor fuel, difficulty starting and stumbling/jerking while driving.
