I replaced the exhaust valve because the check engine light gave a code tht showed us what the problem was. It's been awesome [powerful] ever since.

    So you changed the filter and the sensor did you?

    You should also check your timing. It may have jumped a cog. And keep in mind that this is a free site. All we get out of this is the odd "thank-you". If you want somebody to do it for you, take it to them, and pay. I can't do much from here with a keyboard, and from the description you gave, nobody can do much. Grow up a tad. Nobody is going to give you a lolly pop if you promise to quit crying and stomping your feet.

It sounds like a transmission problem if the switch breaks the overdrive might lock in or it won't do anything. Check to make sure the transmission linkeage is moving, check and smell the fluid low fluid will do this as will a plugged transmission filter.

Gas needle on 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix keeps going down when out of gear help.

If it works in drive but not park, sounds like a short in the harness. A mechanic would check for power and ground at the tank and work back to the gauge.

Hello, I have a 2000 grand prix gt shift into gear and drive fine

Sounds like the filter might be plugging up. I would have it serviced. Do you have a check engine light on? How long do you have to leave the engine off before it will start moving again?

I have a 1996 pontiac grand am the trans shifts fine in all gears but wont move seems to be stuck into park i can feel it going into gear and tries to move and trans isnt slipping it is a automatic when...

Tip on end of park rod has slipped and is staying in the park position. Put car in neutral and get out and rock car back and forth by hand. Tip will slip out and car should move. This will not fix the tip problem as they are crimped on and the crimp has slipped. I installed a master electrical switch and never put the trans in park. I start and stop car in neutral and use switch to shut of electrical. Costs $ 800 to fix trans as park rod is last item out of trans. Cheap solution for me as car is a beater and am driving until it quits. Best of luck.

Tranny just stopped working 93 grand prix

Usually when this totally meltdown occurs and the fluid level is ok, its because of torque converter failure. i would rebuild asap if possible. its time for a new transmission. there may be a clog in the tranny filter but, i doubt it. this is usually a sign of massive gear damage and torque converter issues. i recommend a total rebuild

My grand prix wont go into gear

set your parking brake, insert your key into the shift interlock, located next to your shifter, push all the way in, move your gear shifter to neutral, remove key, start car, release parking brake, drive away, have it serviced ASAP
