1995 Pontiac Grand AM Engine cooling Problems

“We have had the crank shaft sensor replaced ,and that cost us two trips to a mechanic to figure that problem out. The timing belt changed twice, another motor put in this year, new altenator, new radiator, fuel pump, water pump,and a new throttle position sensor.

The door lock does not work on the passenger side and the motor mount is broke. …”

“About a year ago I purchased a 95 Pontiac Grand Am se from price point used car super center.

Well I got the car, not only is it not reliable it keeps breaking down on me. For the entire year of owning the car it has overheated too many times to count... I contacted the dealer but they told me there was nothing they could do because of being bought as is... So I took it to an a place called auto lab... …”

“Intake manifold gaskets deteriorated, causing fuel air mixture fumes to enter into the cab. The intake manifold allowed oil and antifreeze to leak out of the engine. At certain points of acceleration and deceleration the fuel air mixture would expel into the engine compartment and into the passenger compartment. The odor had become stronger.”
