#27 of 36 1999 Grand Am Overheating by ashleef

Ive replaced the thermostat 3 times, the coolant temp censor, and flushed the system and still it overheats. There is nothing in my oil and nothing coming out of my exhaust that isnt normal. I leave the car idle for quite sometime before all of my coolant bubbles out of my reservior. And my car only gets to 210-220 before it starts overheating. There has been alot of air come out of the bleeder. Im not sure what else it could be everything I've been told it was, it wasn't so far.

Remove right front wheel (passenger side). near the bottom of the frame, in front of axle you will see a bolt head behind a sheet-metal bracket. Remove bolt and torque rod is relesed.

I am having problems with my Pontiac overheating on me. I have replaced the Intake Manifold, Thermostat and water pump but it still seems to over heat on me. I was just wondering if anyone had a idea of what the problem could be. Thanks

I have a 2000 grand am se. I have the same problem. I couldn't get it fixed professionally. So i basically just rigged it to a fuze. Works fine unless I need to be in a low gear at like 3500 rpm going up hills for 20 minutes.

i did change the reservoir and it seems to work fine after that, you can try that, costs like $30.00 at auto parts store.

#36 of 36 overheating? by nrhsg93

Apr 14, 2012 (8:01 am)

I have a 95 Pontiac Grand Am with the 2.3l QUAD 4. I just had all the hoses replaced for the coolant system, replaced the thermostat and the water pump checked out to still be good. No cracks in the engine, all gaskets are good including the head gasket and cooling fan is working normally. Refilled the system with the proper antifreeze and flushed the system of any air pockets. I'm getting heat coming out of my vents and no steam is coming through the vents. OH, also the heater core is still good. So, why is my car still overheating? Could it be the overflow cap or is there still a possibility that theres still an air pocket somewhere in the system?
