What kind of problems has it had in the past or before you bought it???

Check your plugs to make sure there firing...
Check to make sure you have fuel going through your lines...


DONT TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.

:screwy: well see heres the deal i bought the car off a used dealership bad mistake i got the car in jan. this year an about 2 months later it wouldnt start doing the same thing its doing now so a mechanic told me i needed a new computer he said my computer wasnt sending message to injectors to open some bull like that so i bought a new computer wasted 130.00 dealer man paid 4 the other half they installed the computer my car was fine for about a month or so an now im back to the same problem now my mechanic is saying its the gas bomb but this car is coming out to more money wasting than wat its worth i think im gonna turn it back to the dealer an tell him he can keep it the thing is i wont get the money ive already wasted on my payments so what do u thinks the problem an what advice do you have for me ??:screwy:

and another thing is i dont know much about cars so i just take them to get fixed i have no idea wat to do
:naughty:

If you keep bringing your car back there just going to find more and more things wrong with it.

This wont help your problem, but I've noticed with my Grand Am that most parts are built to last only a certain amount of time before the whole car implodes.

Try to find an honest independant garage, or shop if you can. I know thats hard to do but it will save you a lot of heart aches and money . Also is the check engine light on? If so get someone to read the codes. These newer cars self diagnose the problem most of the time. Thats about all I can suggest....

here goes another question my car has this clicking problem it sounds like the signal light is always on its getting on my nerves:banghead: while i have my signal light on it sounds normal then i turn it off an it clicks like crazy some people tell me its a relay but what can i do to get it fixed

I believe the way to fix that is by cleaning a contact in the column. I had the same problem and I just turned up the music and ignored it until it finally fixed it's self for the most part.

As far as the clicking problem, get a hold of your local dealership and have them run your VIN and see if the recall has been fixed on your car. There is a recall on the hazard switch on the Grand Ams.
