    Hey guys wondering if anyone had some input.

    Have a grand prix gtp with 90k miles on her.
    Recently got new caliper on drivers side, rotors brakes and wheel bearings on both sides.
    When I put the car in drive it doesn't move when I don't press gas, and when I do press gas slowly it lurches forward just a little bit. It almost feels like my parking brake but I'm not sure, just curious if anyone has experience with something like this and knows what to check. Going to take off wheels and inspect the brakes this weekend.

    Figure out what wheel is stuck and go from there.

    New caliper could be binding or another wheel is sticking.

    Just jack the car up and spin each wheel. It should spin by hand. If it doesn't, you found your problem wheel.

    Anything specific you did to solve that after you figured out what wheel it was?
