How do it replace a solenoid
Replacing a solenoid on a Pontiac Grand Prix can be a complex process, but here are some general steps you can follow:
- Identify which solenoid needs to be replaced. There are several solenoids in the transmission system of a Pontiac Grand Prix, including the shift solenoids, pressure control solenoids, and torque converter clutch solenoids. Refer to the service manual for your specific model to determine which solenoid needs to be replaced.
- Locate the solenoid. Depending on the location of the solenoid, you may need to remove some components to access it. Refer to the service manual for your specific model to determine the location of the solenoid and any components that may need to be removed.
- Disconnect the wiring harness from the solenoid. This may involve removing any retaining clips or bolts that are holding the harness in place.
- Remove the solenoid from its mounting location. This may involve removing any bolts or screws that are holding it in place. You may also need to disconnect any hoses or other components that are attached to the solenoid.
- Install the new solenoid in its mounting location. Make sure it is properly secured with any bolts or screws.
- Reconnect the wiring harness to the new solenoid. Make sure the connection is secure and that any retaining clips or bolts are properly installed.
- Reinstall any components that were removed to access the solenoid.
- Test the transmission to make sure the new solenoid is functioning properly. This may involve taking the vehicle for a test drive or using a diagnostic tool to check for error codes.
It's important to follow the specific instructions for your model when replacing a solenoid on a Pontiac Grand Prix. If you're not comfortable with the process, it may be best to seek assistance from a qualified mechanic.
Timing Chain or Bad Sensors? 2010 Pontiac G6 2.4L Ecotec Leaking/burning oil, oil residue in air intake tube by intake manifold, reduced power and hard shifting, P0016/P0016 codes
Based on the symptoms you have described, it is possible that you are experiencing issues with both the timing chain and the sensors. It is not uncommon for a low oil level to cause damage to the timing chain, especially in an engine with high mileage like yours. The reduced power and hard shifting can also be related to timing chain issues.
However, the oil leak and oil residue in the air intake tube could also be indicative of a valve cover gasket issue, as you suspected. This could also explain the brown liquid building up in the air intake tube.
In terms of next steps, it would be advisable to address the oil leak first and replace the valve cover gasket. This should stop the oil from dripping onto the exhaust manifold and eliminate the burning oil smell. Additionally, cleaning the air intake tube and replacing the air filter may also be necessary.
Once the oil leak and air intake issues have been addressed, it would be best to address the sensor codes next, starting with the camshaft and crankshaft sensors. If the codes persist, then it may be necessary to look into replacing the timing chain.
Given the age and mileage of your vehicle, it may be worth considering whether it is worth investing in the repairs. However, if the repairs can extend the life of the vehicle for a few more years, it may be worth it in the long run
Transmission shifts hard when I shift to drive is it the gear shift linkage
2009 Pontiac g6 gt (4 engines not told)
GM transmission, guess 4T65-E
check all fuses, so the TCM can work.
scan the PCM see tranny errors, DTC coded errors.
bad parts need to be replaced so buy them and do that
ask GM first. then used parts ,
at
car-part.com (wreckers)
no blind person can inspect your shift linkes
find a shop to do that. real hands on persons./
the service manual even cover this
called checking shift linkage for proper shift rod lever on the box for proper detent engagement.
so low fails and reverse fails
or only DRIVE fails. PRNDL
if you move NDL and see if you can feel the detent for drive this may work or for sure proves the point.
get the car serviced. tell them your woe.
How do I check the spark plug wires on a 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix 33? Point one leader V6.
To check the spark plug wires on your 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix 3.3L V6, you can follow these steps:
- Locate the spark plug wires on the engine. They are usually connected to the spark plugs on the top of the engine and the ignition coil on the side of the engine.
- Inspect the wires for any visible damage, such as cracks or cuts. Also, check the connections at the spark plugs and the ignition coil for any signs of corrosion or looseness.
- Use a spark plug wire tester to check the wires for proper resistance. You can purchase a tester at an auto parts store. Follow the instructions provided with the tester to check each wire.
- If a wire fails the resistance test, replace it with a new wire. Be sure to replace each wire one at a time to avoid mixing up the order.
- After replacing the wires, try starting the engine again to see if the problem has been resolved.
If the problem persists after checking and replacing the spark plug wires, there may be other issues causing the engine to not start, such as a faulty ignition coil or fuel system components. In that case, it may be necessary to take the vehicle to a mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.

Here are the steps to install the transmission cooling line with a rubber seal on a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT:
- Raise the vehicle: Use a jack and jack stands to lift the front of the car off the ground.
- Locate the transmission cooler lines: The transmission cooler lines are located on the passenger side of the vehicle near the front of the transmission.
- Remove the old transmission cooling line: Use a wrench to loosen the fitting where the old transmission cooling line connects to the transmission. Slide the fitting away from the transmission and let the old line drain.
- Install the new transmission cooling line: Insert the new transmission cooling line into the fitting on the transmission. Make sure the rubber seal is securely seated.
- Tighten the fitting: Use a wrench to tighten the fitting on the transmission. Be careful not to overtighten, as this could damage the fitting or the new line.
- Lower the vehicle: Use the jack to lower the vehicle back down to the ground.
- Check for leaks: Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check for leaks around the fitting on the transmission and around the rubber seal on the new line.

My my Pontiac Torrent 2006 keeps going in limp mode every time I get it wet underneath the car why
I have a very likely answer for you. Does your vehicle have a sunroof? If so, you likely have either a plugged drain hose (and probably the front left/driver side), OR the drain connector has come disconnected from the drain tube. When this happens, water runs down the inside frame of vehicle and down underneath the dash, and in MY case it ran into the THROTTLE SENSOR module. When this happens it causes a short and the vehicle goes into limp mode until the sensor either dries out, or is replaced if it gets damaged. There are Youtube videos explaining how to unplug the drains from the sunroof area. In my case there is a little connector that connects from the drain port to the drain hose. To get to this is pretty simple and takes about 10 minutes. You need to remove the screw holding the plastic molding piece that runs from the head panel on driver side down to the dash area. Remove one screw from that molding piece and it can then be removed. Then you need to remove the visor by removing 3 screws (2 on the left side and one holding the visor clip bracket on the right side of visor). Now you can carefully pull down the header panel and look for the drain tube that runs up to the sunroof frame, and you will see a small connector which connects the tube to the drain port. Check to see if it's loose or disconnected. Put back together if necessary. If it's still tightly together, check to make sure drain tube is not plugged by either using an air compressor and blowing down the tube, or use something like weedwacker line and run it down thru the tube and look to see if it comes all the way out down near the front tire.
Door lock receiver on a2001 Pontiac Grand am
Do they work with the key fob, do you have one of those? They lock when put into gear an unlock when put into park because the BCM - body control module does that .
Door Lock System Components
The power door lock system consists of the following components:
• Driver door lock switch
• Front Passenger door lock switch
• Body Control Module (BCM)
• Relays: Driver Door Unlock -- on vehicles with RFA, Door Unlock, and Door Lock
• Door Lock fuse 15A
Door Lock System Controls
The power door lock system can be controlled by any of the following:
• A power door lock switch activation
• A keyless entry command -- if equipped with keyless entry
Driver and Passenger Door Lock Operation
When any of the door lock switches is pressed to the lock position, the BCM door lock/unlock signal circuit changes from an idle voltage of ~3.4 volts to 0.0 volts generating a lock command. The BCM then applies battery positive voltage to the Door Lock Relay, which in turn applies battery positive voltage to the Door Lock Actuator lock circuit of all the Door Lock Actuators. Since the Door Lock Actuator unlock circuits are held to ground through the resting Door Unlock Relay(s), the actuators execute the lock command, locking the doors.
The lock function can also be accomplished by the BCM having received a keyless entry door lock command, if the vehicle is equipped with keyless entry.
Driver and Passenger Door Unlock Operation
When any of the door lock switches is pressed to the unlock position, the BCM door lock/unlock signal circuit changes from an idle voltage of ~3.4 volts to ~1.7 volts generating an unlock command. The BCM then applies battery positive voltage to the Door Unlock Relay and the Driver Door Unlock Relay when equipped with keyless entry, the relay(s) in turn apply battery positive voltage to the Door Lock Actuator unlock circuit of all the Door Lock Actuators. Since the Door Lock Actuator lock circuits are held to ground through the resting Door Lock Relay, the actuators execute the unlock command, unlocking the doors.
The unlock function can also be accomplished by the BCM having received a keyless entry door unlock command, if the vehicle is equipped with keyless entry. Keyless entry personalization allows the driver door to be unlocked individually before unlocking the passenger doors. When this feature is active, the BCM will require a repeated unlock command to unlock the passenger doors.
Automatic Door Lock/Unlock
The automatic door lock/unlock function is a Vehicle Personalization feature with the following four programmable modes of operation:
The automatic door lock feature is disabled.
All of the doors lock when the vehicle is shifted out of Park with the ignition ON.
All of the doors lock when the vehicle is shifted out of Park with the ignition ON, and all of the doors Unlock when the vehicle is shifted into Park.
All of the doors lock when the vehicle is shifted out of Park with the ignition ON, and only the driver door Unlocks when the vehicle is shifted into Park.
For information on programming the automatic door locks, refer to Vehicle Personalization in Personalization.
