    Engine Making Chirping Sounds

    Just when I think my '97 GP with 155K is running well, something else pops up. Recently, I started hearing a loud chirping noise coming from the engine compartment that sounds like a bird we have in this area. The noise is not regular and is not RPM related. Sometimes the sound occurs about...

I had a slight water leak from the corner of the lower intake manifold on my 97 Grand Prix 3800 with 156K miles, and had the manifold gasket replaced and also installed a new upper intake manifold and gasket set.

    Power Window Stuck

    Ignition Swich Solves Multitude of Problems

    Just wanted to share my recent experience with replacing the ignition switch on my '97 SE. Before doing so, I had so many problems with the car such as no daytime running lights, no automatic headlights at night, no HVAC blower on speeds 1-4, and only 5 would work sometimes, but cut out often...

    Blower control and headlight association

    I have a 97 Grand Prix with 138,000 miles. The car runs great, but lately the blower will quit at random times and if it happens at night, the headlights will go out too. If I turn the blower switch to high, the blower works and the lights come back on. Could this be a HVAC/daylight running...

    Old Grand Prix Owner

    Hello everyone. I'm new here on the forum but not to Pontiacs. My Grand Prix is 16 years old and I wouldn't want to trade for anything on the market today. I'm having a minor and interesting problem lately and hoped someone on this board can help. I will post my question in the tech area.
