Pontiac Grand Prix

A few years ago, saw a site that said there were 4107 GTP & Special Editions made in 2001, but there was no way to know how many were GTP's or Special Editions.

You have to remove the entire dash panel that the speaker grills are located on. Just pry the entire cover off from either the drivers side or passenger side. Shouldn't take too much work. I have the same car and replaced my speakers also. The speaker grills do not come off of the dash cover.

70 psi

It's used to store, and can be removed to change your vehicles programmable features. I'm not sure where the computer that controls, and stores this located. If you have the owners manual you can read about how to change the different features (ex. how your doors lock and unlock, remote activation alert functions, security alarm functions, etc.) the fuse doesn't feed power to anything else, as far as I know. There are different features for different trim models, also indicated in the manual

I have a 2003 Grand Prix GT and the AC recharge port is right behind the motor on the firewall. Look for the silver pipes coming out of the firewall right near the middle. You will see the recharge port on one of the pipes there.

You can't just "reset" the computer to make it start. On start up, it is in a default mode. Afterward it gathers information from the sensors and compensates accordingly. It, most likely, is something else.

There is a switch at the rear of the Shift console which may have something to do with the car not starting in Park,,,, once in a while mine did. However when I removed the switch from it's position ( there is a ball-joint connection on each end of the switch ) it did not make any difference. If fact it started most of the time when the switch was not in position,, but still plugged in. The dealer quoted $450.00, then later $250.00 for the switch which is not serviced separate. It is part of the entire console shift mechanism.. By then I was ready for a junk yard search, but could not locate a 2000, and did not know if other years had the same switch. MY SOLUTION: after tearing the face off the dash, and removing the radio, I could see the ignition switch. I thought it may be the switch. There is a cable that runs from the shifter up to the back of the ignition switch. Undo the clip, then turn the key to ON, and the cable comes out. Make sure the battery is Disconnected..... Then experimenting with the battery connected, pulling out on the cable, then pushing in on the cable I found that the car started every time when I had the cable pushed in. So I put a small metal clip on the black plastic housing that pushed the white piece at the end of the cable further into the ignition switch when pushed back into place. Don't know why or how, but now the car starts every time. Cost 5 cent clip and lots of frustration on why it didn't start, and why it now does,,,, but I'll take it...

The same way you take it off! But in a reverse order.

The ABS light comes on when there is a problem in the system. Bad sensor, pump, etc. As far as I know the ABS uses it's own computer and is difficult or impossible (in most cases) to pull codes from to find out what the exact problem is. About the only option you have is to take it to a shop to have it put on a scanner. That or start replacing parts at random. It should be fixed as soon as you can, however, when the ABS stops working you WILL NOT lose your brakes. It simply operates like a pre-ABS system.

Mine gets a little better than 22 MPG driving around town when driving easy. I get around 30 MPG on the highway using cruise control and doing 65 MPH. BUT, it has a LOT to do with how heavy your foot is on the gas pedal. If you have a heavy foot and drive the car hard, it goes down dramatically. Drive it easy and it's surprisingly good. When I first got mine (used), it only got about 18 MPG around town. It intermittently ran slightly rough on startup but showed no problems when diagnostics were done. Knowing that all other parts were good, I took a chance and replaced the coil pack. Replacing the coil pack fixed the roughness and improved the mileage considerably.

You don't they have daytime running lights (they are on when the car is on).

under the hood over the battery attached to a bar, and all of them must be removed before removing battery. which i am doing today

This about as easy as it can be; on six cylinder engines it is at the right hand corner of the valve cover with a 1/2" vacuum hose attached to it. It just pulls out. On 4 cyls it is smack in the middle of the top of the engine. Looks the same, pulls right out.

2008 Grand Prix with the 3.8L. Locate the heater hoses at the engine. They are located on the passenger side next to the alternator. I wrapped a towel under the fittings to catch any spills. I also removed the coolant overflow reservoir bottle to give me a little more room for my pliers to remove the hose clamps. Do not remove the small hose to the bottle, just lay it toward the front out of the way. The top heater hose is the supply line, the bottom hose is the return. Pinch the hose clamps and slide up the hoses. Carefully wiggle the hose till it comes off the plastic fitting. Be careful not to break the plastic barb fitting, they look fragile. Coolant maybe under some pressure, so wear eye protection. I used a plastic gallon jug with the bottom cut out (screw cap still on) and placed it down in the gap between the fender and and the fittings, then placed the top hose in the jug. Get a garden hose with a sprayer and place into the lower hose. Gently spray water into the hose, don't use too much pressure. I allowed it to spill out if the pressure got too much. Watch the other hose spill liquid into the jug. If there was blockage, you will see chunks. Dispose the liquid in the jug and place the hoses back on the fittings, put clamps back in place, return the coolant bottle back to it's position, and add a little fresh coolant to the reservoir.

When you don't know try reading your dipstick, it normally tells you what type toput in you tranny.

how many pontiac grand prix gxp were made

The Aurora is faster. I have one myself. It has 50 more horses then a Grand Prix GT, and it is also faster then the supercharged Grand Prix GTP. Not much faster, but it is.

If it is a V6 the starter is at the bottom front of the engine. The front of the car has to be raised to access it from underneath. This is best done when the engine is cool.

when looking at the engine from the top, it is on the right side. it's located on the bottom half of the engine, just in front of the oil pan (underneath the engine, it will be on the left side of the engine, near the flywheel). This is for any v6 engines in a 92 grand prix.

You don't have to modify it at all. They should be the same engine. Unless the 99 had a 3.1 in it then you'd have to change out the entire drive-train and probably the computer too.

This is not a question that can be answered using the word ussually. It all depends on how rough its been treated, how well its been maintained, blah, blah....if its in good condition you are looking at anywhere from 1400-1800$

it could just be the switch pad on the drivers door

the second gear start switch is for ice or wet conditions. Tthe car starts in second which makes it easier to not spin the wheels giving you better traction NOT FOR NORMAL DRIVING OR PROLONGED DRIVING use it only when you need it I think it is when you step on the gas, the car doesn't go forward until it is in second gear. Good for wet or slippery roads.

It's on the passenger side right of the oil filter its right next to it with a blue back harness on it.

There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.
