Check to see if the fan is actually coming on. (possible bad sensor) Also, check to be sure the thermostat isn't put in backwards. The Coolent system also needs to be bled, kinda like brakes. There are two bleeders. they are both on the top of the engine were the hoses connect. Mine were both broke off. They are dealer items only, cost $9 each. Open the one on the left as you fill the radiator. when anti freeze comes out with no air, close the valve. Start the car and open the one on your right(drivers side) let out air then close. I had to play around a bit with it but it is now running at the right temperature. Anti freeze sprays all over the engine but that can't be helped. Good-Luck

How do you change stabilizer bar on a grand prix 2004?
I have a 2000 that i have to replace and my book says you can buy the book taht will tell you how to do it from Auto Zone for $20 dollars. Put the car up on jack stands, remove both front tires, remove the 4 bolts from the pinch point, there are two on each side, remove the 2 bolt for the rear sub-frame , put a jack under the sub-frame before you remove those bolts, once you have those bolts remove lower the rear sub-frame remove the two bolt from the end of the sway bar 1 bolt on each side on each side. then remove the sway bar, pull it back and tip it down and pull out one side of the wheel well.
What causes a 2004 grand prix not to start?
fuel injectors might be flooded follow the fuel rail on top of engine try to find the valve that looks
like the thing on the tire that you put air in when you find it poke the middle
of the valve some gas should squirt out then try to start car.if that don't work
bat/might be low get charged or jump start car.if that don't work it can be a lot of things
if car over heated it might be blown head gasket or broken timing belt if its that your screwed but it can be fuses or a lose or disconnected wire look for the starter make sure wires are connected. hope this helps and to tell if the head gaskets blown look at where
you stick oil if there white slim that means there water in the oil.if your bat/low you might have a bad alternator get it checked at auto zone..
Can a 94 Pontiac grand prix engine fit into your 94 grand am?
They should, If they're the same size. I.E. 3.1 to a 3.1. A3.4 can be used, but You have to use the intake (upper and lower) from the old 3.1. Make sure you keep all the sensors from the original engine. Hope this helps some.

How do you change the car battery on a 1996 Pontiac Grand prix?
Go to your local walmart and look for the battery you need using the lists by the battery stand. Walmart has a no questions asked replacement for 3 years on some. Then go to the auto desk to pay for it, tell the attendant you need assistance installing it and it may be done for free (I think - not sure as I do it myself).. Thats the easy way. If you do it yourself always disconnect the black (neg )lead first - good reason is that if you hit your end of the spanner against something it wont create a short - if you try the red end first(+) it will give a lovely big spark if you tough the spanner to the chassis with the black still connected. GOod luck
How do you replace the front turn signal bulb located on a 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis?
You should be able to go under the hood and remove a cover. This should reveal the back of the light enclosure. Just remove the bulb and replace it with a brand new one.
Where is the throttle position sensor located on a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix?
It is on the accelerator pedal. You have to replace the whole pedal assembly
How do you replace solenoid on 1992 Pontiac Bonneville?

The Cooling fan is not working on my 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix Is it just the fuse?
More likely the temp. sensor. Yes it could be the relay
How do you take apart the glove box for a Grand Prix?
well, i would suggest trying to find out yourself that is what i did when i had to take apart my door on my suv.
What are the torque values for the cylinder head of a 1997 24L Pontiac Grand Am?
For all the 2.3, 2.4L QUAD 4 engines, the head bolts are Torque to Yield. The porper torque value is 30ftlbs PLUS a 90 degree turn of the wrench. The bolts must be new every time ( NEVER REUSE OLD BOLTS). The torque values and proper sequence are including in the box the new bolts come with. BUT honestly, the torque value is 65ft lbs like all GM Chevy motors have been for eons.
You have a leak in either your compressor or your a/c lines. I just had this exact problem fixed and eventually you will have hot air coming out of all the vents. Mine was leaking out of the front of the compressor so I replaced the compressor with a refurbished one from O'Reilly's and it started doing the same thing 3 weeks later. We returned the part to O'Reilly's and the replaced it with another one and so far so good.
Why do the rear speakers in your 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GT not work?
My guess is you either turned the speakers up too loud and blew them, one of the wires came loose, or on your CD player/head unit you have the back speakers turned off. you can check the wires by looking through the trunk.
What causes heads up display to go dim in a 2003 Pontiac grand prix?
I am 99.9% sure that it is the light sensor located on the HUD board. I had this same problem several times - simply requires removing the board and re-soldering the sensor. There is a great write up out there with step by step instructions on the web, check grandprix.net or do a search for fixing the Heads up display light sensor.
Answer 3Courtesy of MACCPGP.comReplacing the HUD Photodiode
by Bill Whitmer
Tools Needed:
Medium to Large Philips screwdriver
Very Small Flat Head screwdriver
T-15 Torx Bit or Driver
25w or less (not more!) Soldering Iron, with fine tip
Vacuum Desoldering Tool
Drill with 15/32" Bit
Small needle nose pliers
Parts Needed:
Very small amount of 1/8" diameter head shrink tubing.
Solder
Replacement Photodiode
2x PDB-C142-ND from www.digikey.com wired in series works well (these look like LED's but they aren't). They are $1.50 each. PDB-V106-ND appears to be almost identical to the original, but it is
a $7 non-stock item with a minimum order quantity of 8.
This write up is for cars where the HUD photodiode is bad and the
resoldering technique doesn't work.
Step 1: Remove HUD Pod from Dash
This can be done by raising the front of the HUD pod by about 1" then
pulling forward to release the quick clips. The quick clips can be tricky
to remove without losing them in the dash. The security LED and auto
headlight sensor simply twist out of their holder.
Step 2: Remove HUD from Dash
First unplug the blue connector from the left side of the HUD module.
Next remove the two Philips screws on the HUD module on the side closest
to the engine bay. The HUD should come out by pulling up on the side
closest to the steering wheel, it still has two quick clips holding it
down. Be careful not to scratch the dashboard when removing the HUD.
Step 3: Disassemble the HUD Module
Remove the four Torx T-15 Screws from the Top of the HUD Module. Remove
the ribbon Cable from the PCB, and the maroon two wire connector also.
Remove the PCB by pushing up on the two clips.
Step 4: Remove the Photodiode
Make sure the soldering iron is at full temperature. Desolder the joints
on the photodiode by heating them up with the soldering iron until they
melt, and using the vacuum desoldering tool while the joint is liquid.
Place the small flathead screwdriver between the photodiode and the PCB.
Again heat up each joint on the photodiode, and use the screwdriver to pry
the photodiode loose. Pry only a small amount on one joint at a time
until the photodiode comes loose, in order not to damage the PCB.
Step 5: Join the new photodiodes (only if using 2 PDB-C142-ND's in series)
The reason to use two photodiodes in series is that these only output .5v,
and the original photodiode outputs 1.00v, the original part number is
BPW21 from Vishay Semiconductor or Infineon, but I have been unable to
find a supplier for this part. Cut the positive (long) leg on one of the
new photodiodes, and cut the negative (short) leg on the other. Cut both
to about 1/4" long. Bend both cut legs 90 degrees. Solder the two cut
legs together. Cover the solder joint with a small amount of 1/8"
diameter heat shrink tubing. Cut the remaining two legs on the
photodiodes to about 1/4". It is very important to remember which one is
positive (originally long) and which one is negative (originally short.
Bend the remaining legs to match up with the photodiode holes on the PCB.
Step 6: Attach the new photodiodes to the PCB
You will need to remove the coating on the PCB where you will be
soldering, it cam be easily scraped off. Melt a small amount of solder in
the holes where the original photodiode was soldered, on the bottom (no
components) side of the PCB. The hole that is closest to the edge of the
PCB is negative, the innermost hole is positive. Attach the photodiodes
by placing the correct leg of the new photodiodes against the correct
hole on the top side of the PCB, and applying heat to the bottom side of
the PCB to melt the solder. Make sure the joint is good.
Step 7: Modify the top HUD module cover (only if using 2 PDB-C142-ND's in series)
The new photodiodes won't fit through the hole on the top cover for the
HUD module. Simply drill out the hole, I used a 15/32" drill bit.
Step 8: Reassemble everything
Put the PCB back in the HUD module, reconnect the two connectors, and
screw it back together. Put the HUD module back in the dash, reconnect
the connector, and put the two Philips screws back in. Now is a good time
to see if the HUD works properly. Replace the HUD pod, first reattach the
auto headlight sensor and security LED, the HUD pod simply presses into
place.
Enjoy having a working HUD again!
Where is the -mall pgm- fuse in a 1998 olds intrigue?
Assuming it is in one of the two Intrigue fuseboxes, it will either be in the fusebox located under the hood and on the passenger fenderwell, OR it will be in the inside fusebox located on the right side of the dash where the dash meets the passenger door. CPC
