Thanks yo. This fixed it (1:36). Turns out you can cross plan 18 (Fuel Pump Relay) with 12 (AC Power Relay) and test that it is the FP relay that is malfunctioning. Once I did that, it started each time.

'01 Grand Am, various models. Turn the car off, turn the key to the 'on' position-The security light on the dash will blink for 10 minutes, then turn solid. wait a few moments until the light goes out. Turn the ignition off and restart the car. Only permanent solution is to run a bypass of the security system, runs about $200 or DIY, instructions online. Didn't have this issue with the '02 or later.

I used these instructions and it only took 15 minutes to perform the procedures. This is the complete relearn procedure, it should reset in 10 mins. but could take a little more than 30 minutes but easy to do. Your ignition has 4 positions 1.Off 2.ACC 3.On 4.Start (Cranks over & springs back to 3.On) Step 1 - Attempt to start the vehicle, this is the "start" position. It will crank, and start for 1-2 seconds then stall. The security light will be on or flashing. Leave the key in the ‘on’ position for 10-11 minutes, then the security light will stay solid or go off. Step 2 - Turn the key to the ‘off’ position for no less 10 seconds. Attempt to start the vehicle. If it runs at this point then you have reset your passlock. If the problem persists you can continue repeat Step 1 two more times. Make sure turn the key to the ‘off’ position for 10 seconds before each 10 minute cycle. Hopefully your car is running by now Step 3 - The vehicle is now ready to relearn the proper code. Turn the key ‘off’ for 15 seconds and then ‘crank’ the vehicle. it should start back up now. The security light might stay on solid for several minutes afterwards.

If the temp guage is working correctly, then the middle of the dial is the happy spot once warmed up with some variation about a quarter in either direction. (If it's not climbing at all or stays higher than 3/4 then you have a problem.) Other than that, might need to bleed the coolant and get air out of the system. Likely a bleed screw somewhere around the coolant pump, but I don't know the 2.4L DualCam well enough to be certain. At least you should be able to find that info on the internet.
@DCgamer723
10 жыл бұрын
Run the car at idle in your driveway and watch the temp gauge. If it keeps rising over standard operating temp ( roughly 200 degrees) you have one of 2 issues. A coolant leak, which you will know if you keep filling your coolant. Or a thermostat that is stuck closed. The thermostat is what controls the flow of coolant. It is a valve in the motor that closes when the motor is cold (to limit flow of coolant so the motor can warm up). Once the vehicle hits operating temp the valve opens to allow coolant through to keep the motor from overheating. A thermostat is between $10-20 at your local part store so even if it isn't the problem, with an 01 it's best to swap it out anyway.

@VigilanteVegan
7 жыл бұрын
There is an EASY fix to this. But as for why, it could be a few things, including mostly likely that your lower intake valve is leaking, which in turn affects how the thermostat works, and slowly leaks coolant. I've had the same problem. This is common in older cars, especially Grand Ams. But it's an expensive fix and not worth it. It is manageable to drive with this problem, so long as you keep topping off the coolant every few weeks. But the EASY fix? Turn your heat on and blast it. I know, it sucks in the summer. But it keeps your thermostat level. When you see your thermostat starting to overheat in traffic, blast the heat, and you will see it your thermostat go back to normal. The heat on draws heat away from the engine and puts it into the inside of your car. You posted this 2 years ago, so I assume you probably posted this during a summer month. In the winter, this isn't an issue, because people already have their heat on anyway, and it's cold outside. So it's virtually impossible for the car to overheat from this issue.

Key to START, the fuel pump relay clicks and the power never gets to the fuel pump. I can turn the relay ON and OFF by my Snap-On 'Brick' and it clicks. I even installed a new relay - no difference. Fuse #48 is dead on both sides - no 12V at all. I used a NOID light to test the command relay pins and I can see the CRANK-Mode signal telling the relay to turn the fuel pump ON. I'm assuming there's a problem UNDER #48 fuse - corrosion - broken connex, etc. Anyone else ever run into this problem?

I have a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix. When I put the key in to start, all the lights come on, radio works, windows work, but the engine won't turn over. This has happened a couple times in the past and what I always did was open the fuse box inside the car and jiggle the fuses. Then it would start right up. Just recently, it happened again, only this time after jiggling the fuses inside the car, it didn't start at all. I have no idea what the heck is going on and hope maybe you can help me out a little bit. Thanks!

Okay you mention the security system but dont really tell us how to disable it. Basically this is just about the fuse. My issue is already "pre-typed" for forums, I'll see if I can send it to you as email because we are at a loss!!

I have a 2004 Grand Am that will start and run sometimes and then sometimes it will just crank and crank. It's been in the shop over a month and they can't figure it out. Sometimes it starts right up and other times it won't do anything but crank.

Kevin Dispensa No the dealership I got the car from replaced so many things on the car from the electronics and wiring to the fuel pump and computer (they spent about 2G in parts) it worked great for about a week then it did the same thing over. The mechanic at the dealership I got the car from is good friends with the lead technician at the GM dealership and when he ask him about it and told him what kind of car it was and the what it was doing the technician told him good luck. These guys aren't new mechanics either they're certified but they didn't charge me and I traded it on a '07 Honda Civic that has half the motor 20K more miles and runs better than that Grand Am ever run. It's just a little ugly but starts and runs every time I turn the switch.

Okay, I'm gonna give this a shot.. see if anyone answers. I have a 2000 grand am gt 3.4 and the ignition sticks. Like, when I try to turn the key, I have to jiggle it back and forth until it clicks. My husband already ordered a cylinder to change because it seems the most logical.... but the biggest issue is the fact that it's so sporadic on start. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. When it does it runs amazing for about 15-20 minutes. It's so random how it dies. It can be at any time, any idle, any rpm. Just dies. Dash lights and gauges go haywire and then fall. No power at all. Sometimes it'll start back up, sometimes it won't start for hours. It's getting adequate fuel pressure and the fuel filter is brand new. Is there any definite thing I can check before I start swapping out $40-70 parts? Next on our list is crankshaft sensor... any other ideas instead of just blindly throwing money at this shithole. But I must say, she runs like a dream when she is running. Such a smooth ride. :) I want my baby fixeeeedddd!!!

Robert FiftySevenChev we're actually going to change the crankshaft position sensor. I found a list of all the things the car could do when the sensor is going bad... Our car is doing every single one of them! Just waiting on delivery to swap it out. The fuel pump just didn't seem logical because we can hear it start up, it has great fuel pressure. But when it's not starting, the fuel pump is still working.. another mechanical friend explained how and why the sensor works and we think that's what it is. Hopefully it works. Thanks for the feed back though! :)

There are a few things I have noticed in the past. 1. Check your ignitor coil (on the 4 cylinder) or your distributer cap (6 cylinder) to see if there is any condensation. This will cause a lack of spark and the car will die out. I just replaced plugs and wires on my wife's car for this issue. 2. Check the crank shaft sensor. 3. Make sure your fuel pump and or filter are good. If the car just cranks and cranks it could be the fuel pump. An easy way to test this is by cranking the car and see if the rpm moves up while u crank it. If there is no rpm check the Shrader valve under the hood. It is on the fuel line. Open the valve and crank the ignition. You should get a strong spray of fuel (be careful). If there is no spray or rpm you need a fuel pump. 4. Lastly check the GM website for recent recalls. The older grand ams have a recall for ignition related issues.

It is a security feature that shuts the gas off and does not allow the car to start. It does not kill the battery.

By turning the key to the ACC for 15 minutes it disables the security system and allows gas to flow and the car will start.
