1994 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"Over priced in parts, Poor design"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My Intake gasket blew, (Very common) Replaced that.
Interior leaks on passenger side. Water leaking over the computer.
Replaced many new parts just to get it running right, (Rough Idle), Seems to be very common. The egr valve is bad,
But many other possiblities.
Bought another alternator, Come to find out it was the red lead wire coming from the alternator to the battery was bad. Replaced that.
Replaced the ignition control module (icm). $300.00 at the dealer. $80.00 at a local auto parts store.
General comments?
When I bought this car I had many high hopes of making the car look sharp. Now it seems the only hopes I have is getting the car to run right. Yesterday after it rained I noticed it is leaking water into the passenger side floor board right over the computer. This car seems to be one problem after the other. Though I only paid $255.00 for it. I paid to much for a car that seems to never end with the problems. After I sell this car I will never own another gm product. All they want is your money!
