Replying to: mpaunovici (Dec 19, 2007 2:51 pm) If the fuel pump fails it won't run, irregardless if your idling at a stoplight or going down the highway. The fuel pump is in the gas tank, the tank has to be drained and removed to replace it. It's not a job for a beginner.

#61 of 195 another grand am stall out by endthis99 Dec 24, 2007 (8:20 pm)
i have a 99 2.4L with a little over 90k, i bought it for what i thought was a great deal for my wife and myself just as another car for 3600$ when i test drove it, the car had no problems what so ever except for a few minor exterior details,like chiped paint, but nothing that would make the car not run correctly.  a few weeks after the purchase the car started to idle funny when i came to a stop, after a few days of doing this it stalled for the first time, i thought it was something to do with the fuel system because the gauges still worked, so i started it back up and it did it again a few days later. i replaced the idle air control valve, beaucse i bought one of the diagnostic tools from autozone, and a hanes do it yourself book, and with both of those it tells me im running rich, and to change it out, so i drop 90$ on the sensor and replace it, of course 4 days later it does it again, and now it does nearly every time i stop, and i dont know what to do. the rpm's always go down below 500 before cutting out unless i catch it in time throw it in neutral and rev up the engine if any one has any thing on this let me know

My car is Pontiac Grand-am 96, v6. Maybe I have a problem with the EGR valve. Where is the EGR valve in my car ? How can I clean it?   Thanks

#64 of 195 How do I replace my starter? by tgomez032886 Dec 30, 2007 (10:25 am)
If the dash lights come on and car doesnt crank over and have enough power, would this be a starter problem? Doesnt click so I am sure its not the sullenoid. If it is the starter I need a step by step process on removing and installing. This vehicle is a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am GT 3.3 V6. Please Help ASAP.

Replying to: tgomez032886 (Dec 30, 2007 10:25 am) I'd check the battery first. Just because the dash lights work doesn't mean the battery has enough power to operate the starting system.
#66 of 195 Re: 2003 Grand Am Cranks won't Start [brkr12002] by brkr12002 Jan 03, 2008 (8:38 pm)
Replying to: brkr12002 (Dec 19, 2007 6:44 pm) So I had my fuel pump replace and drove the car one day before going out for the Christmas holidays. First night out of the dealership mechanic, the car seem to start perfectly. After being gone for ten days I came back and the car started fine. Until I went to walmart to pick up a few things. Got out the store and had problems starting again. I just spent $900 having the car towed and replacing the fuel pump. It seems as though the fuel pump is not always turning on when initially trying to start. Tonight the car stalled on me 3 times within 1 block, luckily close to home and on a side street. Now I'm going and starting the car and it starts right away all the time. Please help, I'm desperate for getting this thing fixed. Is it something electrical? Help.
#67 of 195 Water=Stall? by xzrnoth Jan 05, 2008 (6:38 pm)
Lemme start out with saying that I don't know much at all about cars. Recently its been raining heavily in Cali, and I accidentally drove through a large puddle. The water had to be as high as the undercarriage, and i stalled out, I waited a moment, and fired it up to be rewarded with a Click, and thats it, Its been about 5 hours sense i drove through the puddle and im still getting the same results, Everything electrical that i can see is working properly, when i start the car all the dash lights etc come on, Its A 02 Pontiac grandam, Any help or suggestions would be appreciated Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 07, 2008 3:18 pm) xzrnoth (Jan 08, 2008 6:08 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 09, 2008 1:13 pm) and 4 more...

Replying to: xzrnoth (Jan 05, 2008 6:38 pm) I'd say you either drowned the starter motor or you sucked up water into the engine and seized it. If this is a stickshift you can try a push-start. If it's an automatic, you'll probably have to remove the starter and bench test it, or if the starter checks out, take out a few spark plugs and look for signs of water in the cylinders. or vice-versa.   If you hydro-locked the engine, it's toast. All the rods are bent. Hope it's just the starter motor. Replies to this message: xzrnoth (Jan 08, 2008 6:08 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 09, 2008 1:13 pm) xzrnoth (Jan 10, 2008 5:10 am) and 3 more...
