you may have leaves in the fan
yes, my 2000 grand prix gtp is losing power and makes ticking noise.
If the power steering pump is making a whiny noise on a Pontiac Grand Prix, the way to tell if this noise is from the pump or another source is to turn the steering wheel. If it turns hard, the problem might be with the pump. If the belt quiets down after a drop or two of dish soap is placed on the belt, then it was just the belt causing the noise.
Motor support porbably bad.
A whistling noise indicates a vacuum leak.
It is more than likely a bad wheel bearing they go out a lot in these cars
Could be the wear indicators on the brake pads Last time pads were replaced?
It is probably the cover for your catalytic converter.
