#2510 of 2575 1993 Grand AM by marriedmanw Dec 11, 2007 (12:29 pm)
Hello, I have a problem I hope you can assist with diagnosing. I have a 1993 Pontiac Grand AM 2.3L Quad 4 that is making a ticking noise during idle. This is the only time the noise is heard. The unusual thing is the noise will go away if I slightly turn the wheel. It first sounded like a lifter stuck but I don't believe that is the case since I can drive the car 30 minutes to work and at idle it's still ticking. I recently have replaced the motor mount, timing chain and guides, and water pump. I don't believe that the noise is coming from the timing chain area. I think the noise is the power steering pump failing since the noise goes away when pressure is on system. I replaced the rack about 3 years ago. What's your thoughts?   Thanks, Michael

I just had the radiator replaced along with the heater hoses and the mechanic said that the water pump was going bad. I got a new pump so thay say it's a relatively easy job to do, I just paid over $500 for the radiator repair so we are going to takle this ourselves. Is it as easy as it seems?

Replying to: thoward23 (Oct 22, 2007 11:10 am) Happened on my 99 GA; turns out the battery was about dead. Thought it was my imagination, but since you have had the same happen, I now believe it. btw, car is going back in the shop for possible head gasket; after having replaced IMG, injectors, fuel pressure regulator, etc. not a real happy camper today

Hello: Got a slight problem with my 98 GT. Lots of slack in the steering. This is the first front wheel-drive car with rack-con-pinion that I have owned. My guess was either the gear box or coupler. Where are they or do they even exist? I don't think the rack has an issue, the car steers fine (plains out nicely at about 90). If there is a coupler or gear box, how do I get to them? I popped off the left front wheel today to take a look under the brake boaster, oh god it looks tight. Does someone have an idea of were the slack could be?
