2002 pontiac grand am not starting

My brother's 02 grand am 2.2L would not start. Car has spark, fuel pump works,good battery, plugs and plug boots new, new fuse for the fuel pump in the fuse block under the hood, everything seems to work but car won't start, crank sensor fine timing chain fine etc... The problem was a security issue. Security light on dash was blinking when trying to start the car but car won't start. The fix for me was Attempt to start the car by turning the key to the Start/Run Position. Observe that the vehicle fails to start and that the security light is blinking. Release key to the 'ON/Accessory' Position. (DO NOT turn key to the 'off' position.) Allow the vehicle to sit with the key in the 'ON/Accessory' Position for no less than 12 minutes. Turn key to off position and allow the vehicle to remain in the 'OFF' position for no less than 30 seconds. Then try to start the car. I was surprised this worked for me. 2002 pontiac grand am 2.2L. Hope this helps for you folks.

My coolant light wont go off

Need more info , did you drain it and add filled it up, change your T stat, or was it low and your light came on ? if you changed it, there are air pockets that get in the system, so you need to let it run with heat on and radiator cap off to get them out. Now if it was low and your light came on, it could of just been low, or head gasket, cracked block, with a cracked block you would see coolant on the ground.one easy way to check for a head gasket, check your oil, see if its over filled, see if oil is thinner, if oil on dip stick has bubbles, must of these is signs of a blown head gasket.

Why won't my 02 pontiac grand am with a 2.2 L start or turn over?

The whining sound you hear is from a loose timing chain.It is a very distinctive sound.When you are driving the car the motor takes up the slack because its under load and the sound is less.The timing chain has become stretched over time and needs to be changed.I would also have them do the chain adjuster and any other wear part(such as a water pump on some cars) that can only be gotten to with the engine cover off.IF the chain becomes stretched any further(or god forbid snaps) you could be looking at a whole lot of damage and a lot of money to get it fixed.good luck

TRAF DASHBOARD LGHT STAYS ON

If someone didn't turn Traction Control off by means of a button, it is telling you Traction Control is OFF or malfunctioning. Instrument panels lights are supposed to illuminate as a lamp test for a couple of seconds each time you start the engine. If the Traction Control is not operational you should have it checked by a dealer, they are familiar with your car and have likely seen this before. Traction Control is an important safety feature that needs to work properly to help you avoid loss of control while driving in slippery road conditions.

Rough idle

Vacuum leak, dirty or clogged EGR valve, bad coil pack, bad wires, are a few things to check. I am assuming the plugs are okay. Good luck !

How to disconnect wires from switch panel? The window won't come up need to get door panel off

There is enough "play" in the cabling to get the door panel off so you can get to the wiring connector for it; you don't have to disconnect the wires to get the panel off.
