Intake Valve replacement by nodding2003

I had water and antifreeze leaking and the shop replace the intake valve. When I drove it in all that was wrong was the leak. When they replaced it the called and said there was now a valve sticking and they were trying to find out what was wrong. After a week of this they finally called back and this time they said when they replaced it, it never cranked again. They said they clean some sludge out and that sludge must have been what gave the engine its compression. Now there is no compression and the engine is dead. Is this normal or did they do something wrong when they fixed it?

That's the strangest explanation for a lousy repair I have ever heard. Was the original problem a leaking intake manifold gasket?

"heat has gone crazy" Do you mean it's hot outside and the car's overheating or the heater isn't working?
The radiator fan should run when the engine temp reaches about 195F (if I remember right for a 95), or full time when the A/C is on. If that's your problem then yes it will overheat especially when running and sitting still, maybe OK when your moving but depends on conditions.
If your talking about the heater, then provide more info.

It's Cold & My HEAT stopped blowingMy heat has stopped blowing on my 2001 Pontiac Grand Am. It will not blow out on any of the settings. If I put my hand by the heat vents I can feel warm air barely coming out. Can anyone please tell me what this may be. I am having a lot of problems with this vehicle and this is my problem now. Could someone please help me?

I ended up having the blower moter replaced. The motor cost me $29.99 and my mechanic charged me $40.00 for labor. So that wasn't too bad. Thank goodness.

i know on my 2000 grand am, the lower line, the one you need to connect to the freon kit, is located behind the front passanger tire, behind the plastic mud stopper. you should be able to remove the tire and that flap and voila it should be right there
