    I recently bought a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, love it.... just got some work to do it
    3.4 DOHC 24 valve

    i bought it with a bad brake booster and leaks in the intake gaskets
    it had a terrible idle with the leaks

    took care of the booster and the intake gaskets but it still has a "shaky" idle at times

    any "common" information on this car would be helpful

    Welcome.

    A good cleaning of the throttle body and MAF sensor might do some help.

    Wheels are ridiculous. Be careful as you have the 4T60.

    Looks clean otherwise.
