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

How to take off the door panels of a 2008 Pontiac torrent
First unscrew the dish shaped piece under the handle. Lift the handle and gently pull on the dish piece. It has a snap next to the window co trol so be careful. The next piece is to remove the cushion oN the door by lifting up o. The end closest to the open door side. ( this step may be skipped but I found it easier to complete the next step) the trim under the cushion is next, p start pulling Very carefuly on the side closest to the open end of the door. This piece is fragile and will break if you pull to hard. There are four or five snaps on this pics so take your time. Once that has been removed you now have acces to the two bolts holding the handle to the door. Finally, pull on the outside edge of the panel all around there are about 8 to 10 snaps holding the panel on.
09 Pontiac G6, My car shows the yellow car and lock symbol, but the security system works just fine.
The yellow car and lock symbol that appears on the dashboard of your Pontiac G6 indicates that the vehicle's security system has detected a problem. This symbol may appear if there is a malfunction with the system or if the system has been triggered by an event such as a collision or attempted break-in.
If the security system is functioning properly and the yellow car and lock symbol is still displayed, it is possible that there is a problem with the security system sensor or wiring. It is recommended to take the vehicle to a mechanic or a Pontiac dealership for further diagnosis and repair.
In the meantime, you can try pressing the unlock button on the remote or using the key to unlock the doors and see if the symbol disappears. If the symbol remains displayed, it is possible that the security system will need to be reset by a professional.
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.
