1993 Pontiac Grand Am Logo
Posted on Aug 26, 2010

We have a 1993 Pontiac Grand AM SE with the 3.3 L V6 engine, automatic trans, power windows and door locks. The engine temp is running hot. I have replaced the cooling fans, fan switch sensor, relay, temp sensor and cap. The guage goes into the red, biut the temp light never comes on. The cooling fan only comes on if you turn the AC on. Fan never comes on except when your turn AC on. Coolant has been flushed, not lease from radiator or watter pump. No blown head gasket, did compression check. No water in oil.

Sedan: 3,116 lb (1,413 kg)[37] Available in late spring 1998, the basic design of the fifth-generation Grand Am was shared with the Oldsmobile Alero (also new for 1999) and Chevrolet Malibu (introduced in 1996). The length was shortened slightly, but the wheelbase grew by more than three inches (76 mm). The suspension was now fully independent, with a revised MacPherson-Strut design upfront. The rear suspension is a more refined Multi-link design. The new Grand Am was offered in five trim levels: SE, SE1, SE2, GT, and GT1. The 2.4 L Twin Cam engine was carried over, with 150 hp (112 kW; 152 PS) and 155 lb?ft (210 N?m) of torque. GM's 3400 V6, previously exclusive to their minivans, became available as an option on the SE and SE1 and was standard on all other trim levels. For 1999, all the Grand Ams featured a 4-speed automatic transmission. The GT and GT1 also included 4-wheel disc brakes,[38] and all Grand Ams until 2003 included standard ABS and Traction Control (made optional on SE from 2003). The GTs also had a Ram Air induction system, providing an extra five horsepower and 5 lb/ft of torque over the 3.4 L V6 when installed in any of the SE-level trims.
The 2000 models added a Getrag 5-speed manual transmission as standard equipment with the four-cylinder. On GT models, the badge on the front fenders now read "RamAir V6", instead of "V6H.O." on 1999 GT's. ASC Creative Services designed the Grand Am SC/T for the SEMA show circuit, which was the concept design for the Ram Air hood and body package. The SC/T later became an appearance package, beginning in 2003. A road test by Car and Driver showed a 0-60 mph time of 7.7 seconds in a GT sedan with an automatic.[36]
For 2001, the SE2 trim level was dropped, a new family of Delco stereos and new wheel designs was introduced. The radio size in 2001 also changed from a 1.5 DIN size to a full 2 DIN size. Halfway through 2002, the Twin Cam 2.4 L engine was replaced by a new 2.2 L Ecotec four-cylinder, which had improvements over the engine it replaced, but produced less output; 140 hp (104 kW; 142 PS) and 150 lb?ft (203 N?m) of torque. Changes for 2002 also included a stationary cup holder in the center console as opposed to a removable one.
The body cladding on SE models was removed in 2003, a change which affected other models throughout Pontiac. Also in 2003, anti-lock brakes and traction control were made optional on the SE. In 2004, an MP3 player was added to the uplevel CD player. In 2005, Pontiac began phasing out the Grand Am lineup for the new G6 replacement. SE sedans were retained for fleet sale and GT coupes were the last Grand Am model available for public sale.

2003-2005 Pontiac Grand Am GT coupe The final Grand Am rolled off the line at Lansing, Michigan's, Lansing Car Assembly plant on May 10, 2005, shortly before the Lake Orion, Michigan plant began assembling G6 coupes. This was also the last car to be made at Lansing's old Fisher Body plant.
Available engines:
  • 1999-2002: 2.4 L DOHC Twin Cam L4 (LD9 model) engine: 150 hp (110 kW), 155 lb?ft (210 N?m) of torque
  • 2002-2005: 2.2 L DOHC Ecotec L4 engine: 140 hp (100 kW), 150 lb?ft (200 N?m) of torque

If the port is not full how do you know when not to add anymore trans fluid

In an automatic transmission while the engine is running in park check the dipstick after the vehicle has reached normal operating temp. There is a mark for cold and hot. Since the fluid expands with high temps always check when hot to ensure you wouldn't add any excess fluid if you needed to add some as overfilling it would cause premature failure and expensive repairs

1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee - V6 engine with a Automatic 4-speed Transmission. Unit will not shift out of 1-2 speed into 3-4 gear. I have checked shift linkage - is OK & TV linkage OK. Is there a vacuum...

The only thing that you can do is check the trans fluid.Start car,run it through all gears and end in neutral.Handbrake on.Now check the trans fluid level.Make sure engine is warm.If needed add fluid.If this is not the problem,a tranny expert is the go.There is not a lot anyone can do with an auto trans at home.Hope this helps
