Pontiac Grand AM 1995 Troubleshooting

The 1995 Pontiac Grand AM is a coupe that has a 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine. If you are having problems with your 95 Grand AM, there are a couple of things that you can troubleshoot yourself before you take the car into a service shop. Common issues reside with the power steering, the battery, and the fuel. You can alleviate these problems without training in automobiles. Getting your problems fixed will get you back on the road in no time.

Instructions

    1

    Lift the hood to the Grand Am and look fro the power steering fluid tank next to the engine. Look for the fill line on the tank and make sure that you have enough fluid in the tank. Fill the tank with power steering fluid if needed.

    2

    Look over the coolant levels to make sure you have enough coolant if your Grand AM is overheating. The coolant system is right by the power steering fluid tank. Add 50/50 coolant to the tank until the coolant level is at the fill line.

    3

    Check over the battery on the right side of the engine. The battery should have tight connections from the cable to the battery terminals. If the connections are loose, tighten them with a pair of channel locks or pliers.

    4

    Test the battery with a voltmeter if your car wont start. Place the testing leads on the battery terminals according to the color of the leads. If you get anything less than 11 volts from the test, you should charge your battery.

    5

    Turn the key in your ignition and look over the fuel levels. If you dont have enough fuel in the gas tank, you car will not be able to start. Fill the gas tank as needed to get the car starter.
