I have a 96 Grand Am the other day after running some errands I got home and when I was going to leave the car didn't turn on. I took the starter in to the Auto Zone it was good also took my battery in and replaced it. I get home I try the car and still nothing. I've tried everything and don't have the money to take it to the dealership. Could anyone help?

Check in at the GAOwnersClub.com - there are many fourth generation owners there. Have some one turn the key to "Start" and check for voltage on the small wires of the starter. It might be that signal to fire the solenoid isn't making it because of a security feature.

My service engine light soon as been on for about a week. I took it to AutoZone for the diag test. They said it could be a bad oxygen sensor or fuel switch. I was wondering how long I can drive the car before I get it fixed? I was hoping to wait 3 weeks before I take it in, but I am afraid I will break down while driving to work or cause more damage to the car? Thank you! 2 Answers

I have a 99 pontiac grand am se 3.4L V6. The issue is that it starts and idles fine but as soon as I go to accelerate it just shuts off. It did have overheating issues but right after I fixed those it started doing this. I replaced the cam position sensor and also the engine coolant temp sensor and it didnt help. I was thinking of replacing the ignition coil packs and housi g but not sure if that would fix it. There are no check engine lights or stored codes . 4 Answers
