Grand Am GT

my STOCK 95 grandam maxes out at 195km/h

More than likely, the release levers are in the trunk (mine are 99). If this is the case, there are two ties that hang down. You just pull them, and they release the back seat.

Fog lights won't operate if high beams are on.

might want to check the wiring, relay, and the bulbs

The gas tank on the 99 -2005 Pontiac Grand Am SE is 14.4 -15 US gallons depending on if it is a steel tank or a polymer (plastic) tank. Polymer is 14.4 US gallons, and steel gas tank is 15 US gallons.

my friend has a 2002 c230 and it has the same problem. it has 90,000 miles clean title.

45-60. Anything higher could indicate a bigger problem. A 134a system is similar to a R12 system in that you have a chart listing temperatures and pressures, with 134a running slightly higher. That said, you need both suction and discharge pressures and outside/inside temperatures, along with engine speed to let someone diagnose your system. You also need to make sure that your compressor and all other parts - relays, fans, hoses not plugged by collapsed inner liners, etc. are functioning properly before "adding a can" of 134a. You can seriously overcharge if you don't know what you're doing. Best solution if everything is functioning properly, is to have a qualified mechanic empty the system, pull a vacuum and re-install the correct charge (weight of 134a). This is different from make to make, but is critical. A 134a system does not have the"bubble gauge" as a R12 system does, and it is easy to get under or over in the charge. Your mechanic will weigh in the correct number of cans for proper operation. when all else fails, try 34psi on the suction gauge. this is real close to where you need to be.

Make a tool to remove it: Take an old coping saw blade, grind it to a gradual point than stretches over a few inches. Wrap electrical tape around the thicker part to use for the handle. The teeth of the coping saw blade can get a grip on the broken key and pull it out.

2001 Pontiac Grand Am Turn Signal Troubleshooting (check in this order):

· Check Fuse

· Check Bulbs

· Check Flasher Relay

· Check Turn Signal Switch in steering column

· Check switch on brake pedal

· Check license plate light bulb and wiring

· Check all wiring harnesses and wiring for shorts

Most likely its the fuse or a burnt bulb breaking the circuit. See sources and related links below for bulb information. Sometimes the license plate and/or the trailer hitch is wired into other circuits and can cause issues in other areas. Sometimes its wires grounding out somewhere on the vehicle. See sources and related links below for bulb information. See owner's manual for location and identification of fuses.

Under the hood, in the fuse panel. There's probably a cover over it with a thumbscrew. The relay will probably be 1"x1" or 1"x1/2"

Turn ignition to "ON", slowly press accelerator to the floor three times within five seconds, wait a few seconds and you will hear three tones, the "Change Oil" light will turn off. Turn the ignition to "OFF" and the light will be reset.

This didn't work for me...turning ignition to "ON" actually starts the engine. I turned the key to "ACC" position, waited a few seconds then pressed the accelerator to the floor three times. A few seconds later heard the three tones and the sensor was reset......

(For some reason, oil lights in some cars are reset with odd steps like these. Do a google search for "reset oil light gas pedal" and you will see it's quite common.)

3.5 Quarts!

"From the Service Manual: Enhanced Traction System (ETS) The Enhanced Traction System (ETS) is designed to limit wheel slip during acceleration. This objective is accomplished by cutting fuel to selected cylinders, retarding spark and upshifting the transmission. The EBCM monitors wheel speed slip through the ABS wheel speed sensors and determines the desired torque reduction needed to minimize wheel spin. The torque reduction the EBCM requests may result in a combination of fuel cutoff, spark retard, and upshifting the transmission, depending on the torque reduction required. This request is sent from the EBCM through the serial data link to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM then calculates and employs fuel cutoff and spark retard values to achieve the requested engine torque. If the EBCM determines that the engine torque reduction is not sufficient to minimize wheel spin, it will request a transmission upshift. The ETS will be enabled when the ETS switch is in the ON position (TRAC OFF indicator not illuminated), the engine coolant temperature is within normal operating range and the manifold air temperature is within normal operating range. There are a number of reasons that the ETS will be inhibited or disabled. * INHIBITED: Not all modes of ETS are available. i.e.: no spark retard, but transmission upshifts are still available. * DISABLED: No ETS modes are available Some of the items that can inhibit or disable ETS are: * ETS OFF switch is in the OFF position. (Disabled) * EBCM senses a valid brake switch input. (Disabled) * Park brake is engaged. (Disabled) * Catalytic converter temperature rises above the normal operating range. (Inhibited) * Engine coolant temperature is not within normal operating range. (Inhibited) * Manifold air temperature is not within normal operating range. (Inhibited) * PCM sets a DTC that turns on the CHECK ENGINE lamp. (Inhibited or Disabled) * PCM sets a Failure Record that does NOT turn on the CHECK ENGINE lamp. (Inhibited or Disabled) * EBCM sets a DTC C1221, C1222, C1223, C1224, C1225, C1226, C1227, C1228, C1232, C1233, C1234, and/or C1235 (any wheel speed sensor DTC). (Disabled) Refer to Self-Diagnostics for more information. ETS OFF Switch The ETS OFF switch is a momentary contact switch. The ETS OFF switch enables or disables the enhanced traction system. When the EBCM needs to illuminate the TRAC OFF or LO TRAC indicators, it will transmit a signal (via serial data link) to the Electronic Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) and the IPC will illuminate the indicator. The amber TRAC OFF indicator will be illuminated when ETS is disabled or when the driver switches ETS off with the ETS OFF switch. As a bulb check procedure, the EBCM will command the ETS indicator ON for 3 seconds when the EBCM receives power (ignition in ON position). With the ignition in the OFF or START positions (loss of serial data), the IPC will illuminate the ETS OFF indicator lamp. The amber LO TRAC indicator will be illuminated to alert the driver of a low traction situation and to inform the driver the ETS is operating. As a bulb check procedure, the EBCM will command the LO TRAC indicator ON for 3 seconds when the EBCM receives power (ignition in ON or START positions). With the ignition in the OFF position (loss of serial data), the IPC will illuminate the LO TRAC indicator.

drop your steering column... not exactly sure where it is from there but that is the location of it.

Ah, what a lovely question! Parts from a 1992 to 1995 Pontiac Grand Am should interchange smoothly with your 1993 model. Remember, each car is unique, like a happy little tree, so it's always best to double-check with a professional to ensure a perfect fit. Just remember, there are no mistakes, only happy little accidents in the world of car repairs.

To program a keyless entry remote for a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am, first, sit in the driver's seat and close all the doors. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position without starting the engine, then turn it back to "Off." Repeat this process (On, Off) five times, ending in the "On" position, which should cause the locks to cycle, indicating programming mode. Press any button on the remote within 30 seconds; the locks will cycle again to confirm successful programming.

The driver side instrument fuse panel on a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT with a 3400 engine is located under the dashboard, to the left of the steering column. To access it, you may need to remove a small cover or panel. This fuse panel houses fuses related to various electrical components within the vehicle.

The 1992 Dodge Shadow typically requires a serpentine belt that is approximately 84.5 inches in length. However, it's essential to check the specific engine variant, as different engines may have slight variations in belt size. Always refer to the owner's manual or consult with an auto parts store for the most accurate fit for your specific model.

To replace the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve on a 2002 Grand Am GT, first, locate the valve, which is typically found on the valve cover or near the intake manifold. Disconnect the vacuum hose attached to the PCV valve and remove the old valve by twisting it out of its socket. Install the new PCV valve by pushing it into place and then reconnect the vacuum hose. Finally, ensure everything is securely reconnected and check for any vacuum leaks.

A 2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT typically requires about 5 quarts of oil when performing an oil change, including the oil filter. It's important to check the owner's manual for the specific engine type, as the capacity may vary slightly depending on whether it's the 3.4L V6 or another engine option. Always consult the manual for the exact specifications and recommendations.
