#13 of 19 Re: 2002 Grand Am GT speed gain, slippage [momof3divaz] by rich99 Feb 23, 2008 (3:05 pm)
Replying to: momof3divaz (Feb 22, 2008 10:17 pm) My exhaust shop told me that if the cat goes out like he thinks it has in my car that the only way it goes out is becouse of a bad sensor in the motor, and changing it will work, for a while till it clogs it again. I want to put a high flow cat and take off the resanator, and maybe a aftermarket muffler like a flowmaster or something. He did tell me that taking off the cat is a bad idea and does nothing good for the car. just want to avoid paying the $245 again in another 58000 miles.

#16 of 19 Help - please! 94 Pontiac Grand Am Hesitation Problem by duhozarks May 29, 2008 (11:39 am)
My daughter has a 94 Pontiac Grand Am with a slight hesitation problem. I've driven the car and it does it to me also. It hesitates when you are pulling out of a parking lot onto a highway or accelerating after being stopped at a stoplight. Two mechanics can't find a problem. I'm afraid she's going to pull out and get T-boned or rear ended. If you stomp on the gas real hard when it hesitates, it will go (Or at least it did for my husband) So far the mechanics have put on a new fuel pump, fuel filter, and some kind of sensor. We've had the tranmission fluid flushed as recommeded by jiffy lube. We bought this car exactly one year ago and hardly drove it. I'm getting tired of no one being able to tell us what the problem is. It's a car for a student so it was cheap and has 180,000 miles. But because it's for a student - I want it to be safe. All I asked the dealer when we bought the car was if was dependable and safe - that's all we wanted. Replies to this message: kylehunter44 (Apr 13, 2009 3:49 pm)

#19 of 19 2004 Cold hesitation problem by hankster5 Mar 18, 2009 (9:23 pm)
I have a 2004 GT 3.4L tune up done and still feels like it misfires when it's cold off a start or light acceleration. The following have been changed: plugs, wires, fuel filter, throttle position sensor. Cleaned Mass Air Flow. There is no check engine light on or has never come on since this started happening a few weeks ago. Any comments?
