#144 of 193 Starts and dies in a couple seconds by kmitch1365 Oct 03, 2008 (7:43 pm)
I have a 01 grand am that starts right up and sounds like it would run good but it shuts down in about a second or 2 every time just like you cut the switch off. I have changed the complete ignition switch tried a couple different passlock sensors nothing changes. The security light does not flash it comes on and goes out and then comes back on when it dies. The radio won't work when the switch is on but comes on when it starts for the few seconds and then goes off when it dies. left the switch on for 10 min. to 1 hr. multiple times. Driving me crazy.
#145 of 193 All Kinds of Issues by bluenotes Oct 04, 2008 (5:24 am)
I have a 2002 Grand Am V6 with 98k miles. Recently, while the A/C is on, my door locks will unlock until I turn off the A/C. I can let it sit for awhile, and then it works for a few minutes, but then the locks act up again. It only does it when the A/C is on. Yesterday it started blowing the fuse and won't start until I replace a fuse. There obviously is a short somewhere. Any suggestions on where to start??

#146 of 193 02 Grand Am Stalling after fueling by maty Oct 09, 2008 (5:20 pm)
My Grand Am will stall or have alot of diffiulty starting at the gas station after fueling. Most times I have to leave the car run, or will not get it started without pumping on the gas pedal, and then it will run rough for a many minutes after. Any other time the car has no dificulty starting  If the car is running and the gas cap is removed, you immediately notice the engine running rough. We have replaced the gas cap, and one time we could not get it restarted, towed to garage and they could find nothing wrong with the fuel system, changed the spark plugs. Once we had to crank it so many times we killed the battery, bought a new battery, Already has a new fuel filter, Any ideas?

Any help would be appreciated. I drove to work just fine when I went to leave the car wouldn't start. Not even a click or attempt to turn over. I changed the starter which didn't help and I tried jumping the car after that to make sure it had enough charge to turn over. Still no luck. A friend said it might be the computer. Any one here have any ideas?
#149 of 193 car wont start by mkm6776 Nov 10, 2008 (9:30 am)
Hello. I have a 2001 Grand Am GT. The other night the car was running fine. Yesterday morning we went to start it and it would crank but not start. After a few times of trying the battery went completely dead. 5 people tried boosting it at different times of the day but it didnt work. Without the boost the car has absolutely no charge at all. I really dont want to take it to the dealer to have it fixed. Any suggestions...battery maybe? Thanks in advance if I can get some help on this one Replies to this message: burdawg (Nov 10, 2008 2:17 pm) vimnjicki (Jan 02, 2009 5:20 pm)

Replying to: mkm6776 (Nov 10, 2008 9:30 am) If you drained the battery then boosting it won't recharge it. Your root problem, even though you could have a weak battery, sounds like it's something else. You need to see if your getting spark to the plugs, fuel to the injectors, etc.
