2000 grand am overheating? Water flows into coolant container? Any suggestions., already checked fans, radiator,veronica - 2000 Pontiac Grand Am - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 1/2/2012-
1/2/2012 CVOLeaky Head Gasket -- Bad news because repairs are expensive. A leaky head gasket can allow coolant to seep into the engine's cylinders or crankcase. Symptoms include a loss of coolant with no visible external leaks, and white steam in the exhaust, especially after restarting the engine when it has sit for awhile. A leaky head gasket can be diagnosed by pressure testing the cooling system, or by using a "block checker" that pulls air from the cooling system into a cylinder that contains a special blue colored leak detection liquid. If there are any combustion gases in the coolant, the color of the liquid inside the detector will change from blue to green. A leaky head gasket can often be temporarily sealed by adding a sealer product to the cooling system. But for bad leaks or ones that cannot be stopped with sealer, the head gasket has to be replaced.

Car loses power while driving wats that mean?Nevaeh - 2000 Pontiac Grand Am - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 12/28/2011Just decides to quit periodically-
12/28/2011 yboy82You mean your vehicle will stall (shut off) while driving? Did you already diagnose your vehicle with a scan tool to determine if there's a stored troublecode? Also check and clean your MAF sensor might be clogged/dirty.

12/26/2011 Holiday48000could be the Mass Air Flow Senser (MAF)or the Throttle Poisition Senser (TPS), I would have both cleaned or replaced if needed. Also clean up the throttle linkage as that may be sticking also. Do you have a check engine light comming on?

TRANS STOPPED PULLING WHILE DRIVING, NO WARNING, NO SLIPPING. ANY GEAR, NOTHING HAPPENS?????AMS2325 - 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 12/17/2011WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE TRANSMISSION JUST STOPPED PULLING AS IF IT WERE BUMPED INTO NUETRAL. NO PRIOR WARNING, SLIPPING, STALLING, NOTHING. ANY IDEAS WHAT HAPPEDED??? AND WHATS IT GONNA TAKE TO FIX IT???-
12/17/2011 packratAn Automatic Transmission, or standard.
Abuse ? hole-shots ? burning rubber off corners with wheels turned ? The first thing to possibly go, would be the spline twisted off the input shaft.. with this type of excessive force, it seems you would lose a front axle first, and have horrendous noise.
A standard, would be evidenced as the core spline torn from the clutchplate rivets. Also marked by possible horrendous noise and additional damage when the clutch plate goes eccentric.
Very Expensive to repair at any rate.
