Pontiac Grand Am

Theres a few ways, one you will hear a loud "roaring" or grinding sound when driving commonly known as a "roaring wheel bearing" another way is you can jack the car up and get the wheel off the ground and see if you can make it move up or down or back and forth "kind of a wobbling since motion" I hope this helps you.

That is because the seals that are in the transmission are hard when the trans. is cool and as the transmission fluid heats up the seals soften up and expand which stops the fluid from leaking past the seals and the trans, acts normal. IT is time for a rebuild.

I have a 1997 Grand Am Gt and as of 2 days ago the car was towed home and parked. Went through the same thing a year ago with the theft system causing my car not to start. You can try the 10 minutes on and off thing 3 times but it doesn't work. The only option is making Pontiac more richer. In my case, I'm ready to torch the darn car, I have dumped way to much money in it to have it leave me stranded on a yearly basis.

You could try finding an acc. fuse for the system whether in the fuse block or in line. The alarm runs through the ignition and the brake pedal.

Why wouldn't it? There is NO difference between a 1999 and a 2000, as of right this second i have a 1999 Pontiac grand am with a 3.4 liter (what your looking at right now) and built it from ground up. I know plenty about cars.

Use a scanner or try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes.

Warped rotor. Remove and have it turned, or replaced.

This is for the timing chain tensioner that does not have the shoe attached to it. To reset the tensioner, push the inner piston all of the way down inside of the outer piston that it sits in. This may take a little work since the inner piston will be filled with oil. Just work it a little at a time until you can push the inner piston all of the way in and it locks in place. Now check and see if the inner piston will spring out properly. Push in on the inner piston hard and release it quickly. Try to keep your hand over it just in case it pops out all of the way. I haven't seen it happen, but have heard about it. It kind of works like a "click" pen. It should pop out all of the way where you can see little holes around the inner piston. If it catches anywhere in between it's travel, reset it a few times to try and get it working smoothly. If it keeps on catching, it is recommended to purchase a new one since it will not set properly when it is installed. It cost me around $38.00 for a new one and is a lot less of a headache than tearing the side of the motor apart again if the old one does not set properly. To install it into the motor, push the inner piston all of the way in until it locks in place. If you purchase a new one, pop the innner piston in and out a few times. New tensioners like to stick a little since they have been locked in place for a while. With the inner piston all of the way in, bolt the tensioner in place with the shoe already installed. With a small pry bar or screwdriver, push down the inner piston. You can use the shoe as a leverage point, but be careful not to twist it too much so that it breaks. This will have to be done as quickly as you can just like when you were pushing it in by hand. It may take a couple of times, but should pop out. I personally like to put the bolt for the harmonic balancer in place and slowly turn the crank shaft in a clockwise motion to try and get some of the slack out of the timing chain. This should take care of it and hopefully there won't be a timing chain rattle.

It is part of the VATS on your car. There is a resistor on your key and if the VATS module does not read the right key when you go to start your car it will not start and this light will come on and stay on. If you have the correct key and this happens do not try to start the car for three minutes. Each time you do the counter will reset even if its the right key. Make sure there is nothing on the resistor by wiping it off on something once three or so minutes have gone by try to start the car again and it should fire right up. The light should flash normally when starting the car but once its done flashing it should go off.

I too had to replace my side mirror on my 2008 G6 but mine was on the passenger side. Normally from a dealer your looking at $130, but i was able to buy mine brand new off eBay from an auto place for around 30 and the cost for shipping so about $50. I just did this a few days ago so I have yet to put it on but they said its easy to do it yourself instead of going to a garage and paying an hours worth of labor(should take 20-30 min tops)

The 1995 Pontiac Grand Am 3.1 liter engine crank shaft sensor is located inside of the rear engine cover. You will need to remove the rear engine cover in order to access the crankshaft sensor.

Open the hood. Directly behind the headlamps, along the frame you will see a white tab. Pull the tab up being careful not to pull it all the way out. Reach behind the headlamps and push the plastic "bumps" away from the passenger area. The lens assembly should start to come out towards the front bumper. Pull the assembly out and disconnect the wiring harness.

The assembly should be free of the vehicle. Behind the bulb you find a rubber protective insert. Take it out to expose the bulb. Turn the bulb 1/4 turn to the right to remove the bulb. Reverse order to install the assembly.

Its in the fuel tank. you need to drop the tank to repair.

It depends on your geographic location, but generally it should be anywhere from $75 - $150 labor. A large automotive shop/dealer could be as high as $300 for labor. And of course companies will mark up the water pump 75% - 150% as well.

If you have the slightest mechanical knowledge and a small ratchet set, it would would be very inexpensive to fix yourself.

Just remove the water reservoir and access the pump directly below the alternator. Get a new gasket with the pump and you will need to unbolt the pulley from the old pump and attach it to the new pump. Then replace the serpentine belt.

It will cost you around $40 - $60 and an hour of your time.

how much oil does a 2002pontiacgrand am 2.2 require

Breathing in substances other than fresh air causes harm to the breathing system.Smoking from tobacco causes many problems. The smoke contains particles that irritate the lungs as well as thousands of different chemicals.The nicotine in cigarettes is addictive.Smokers cannot get as much oxygen into hte blood or remove as much carbon dioxide.They cannot be as active as if they could if they did not smoke.if anyone smokes alot they get lots of problems in their lungs and hey get wounds and pains.Smoking alot will cause death too.

this happens to me every time i wash the car...solution is to put the key in the on position and wait for 10 minutes. it will clear the path lock sensor and turn off the light.

The fuel tank pressure sensor is located at the top of the fuel tank. The fuel sensor is best seen when the tank is removed and made to face down.
