well if its overheating doesnt mean its leaking
however if it is leaking look to see where its coming from check the side of the radiator ( left and right) check the upper and lower radiator hoses as well as the water pump which on a 2.2 liter is located on the lower back side behind the exhaust manifold on the 3.1 i believe its on the side
if no leaks u could have a bad or weak water pump, frozen therostat or damaged radiator
water pump thermostat and radiator on 3.1 your looking at maybe 8-900
water pump thermostat and radiator on 2.2 liter your looking at like 12-1300 because u need to do belt tensioner and timing chain on it plus mechanics hate this engine design very poor by Pontiac
Perhaps throttle plate is stuck open. try to "free " with a screwdriver or perhaps a vacuum leak

To reset the dash cluster in a '96 Pontiac Grand Am remove both battery cables for 30 seconds. Wait for the theft lock icon to disappear then turn the car back on. The dash cluster should reset.
Check fuses

it could be a range of things. it could be overheating, gas gauge is low, or your rpms are running too high.
