[michelle powers]

Should i have traction on or off when i'm driving on snow covered roads in my 1999pontiac grand am?

[TerryAuto]

Yes, leave traction control on.
It will help with trying to accelerate in snwo and ice.
It may sound strange when it is active, but help quite a bit.

i have a 99 grand am , battery went dead so i took it out and charged it , cleaned postd and car started right up , i drove it to store and when i came out the trac off light came on and it slammed into gear like i had the motor revved up before shifting , check engine light also has come on

You've obviously set one or more trouble codes in the computer. This may or may not be from having the battery out. You'd have to get it scanned and see what codes are present before I can really offer any help.

I have a 01 grand am which has recently been acting weird. The other day I was driving home n it started to chug like it was running outta gas n turned off so I sat there for a while n tried starting it n it started up tried driving a lil further n again it started to chug n die. Both times it died my temp gauge was at 200 like it was over heating when I checked it further the lower radiator hoses where way hoter then the uppers also right before it died both times the battery light came on like the alternator was crapping out please help

ok, that was what happened, what is it doing right now? 200 degrees is not overheating. 210 t0 220 is normal operating temperature. if your engine slows down to an RPM range lower than 400 - 500 rpm you may use more voltage than the alternator can put out to run everything and the imbalance in voltage will turn on the battery light.

I would concentrate on the running rough and die first unless the engine was really overheating 240+. If it felt like running out of fuel do a fuel pressure test. If you can get the engine to run now, use a scanner and see what the fuel trims are. fuel pressure for the 3.1L and 3.4L is 52-59 psi.

I have an 04 Alero and was wanting to know if the heads will fit on a 99 Grand Am. And where do I find a vehicle parts interchange information at?

[carriedi]

you should give these guys a call about heads.


just make sure that if you do the heads the intake and the exhaust push rods are different lengths, don't mix them up. Short, intake. Long, exhaust. Short-In Long-Out. S-I-L-O
