2005 Monte Carlo Engine Light and Stalls

2005 Chevy Monte Carlo.
My 2005 Monte Carlo engine light keeps coming on after I've change all wires and plugs,it flutters and cuts off when I stop.what can I do?

Answer: first you need to get a scan of the computer to see what codes are stored. I would assume you have a P0300 misfire code, and that is the reason you replaced the spark plugs and plug wires. Did you also look closely at the ignition coils when you did that job?

Chevy Monte Carlo 3.5L V6 Coolant Leak

2006 Chevy Monte Carlo 3.5 V6. Coolant leak: coolant only leaks when engine is cold, after it warms up it stops.  It looks like it leaks from the side of the engine right around the belt.  Coolant shoots up off the belt.  I don't know could it be the water pump, head gasket, thermostat or something else.  Do you have any clue where the leak is coming from?  Do you guys see this problem a lot in Chevy vehicles and how much would it cost to fix it?
