I got this 95 Gand Am from a friend for junk price because he is tired of messing with it. It is really nice no rust interior is almost cherry. 107,000 miles 4 banger under the hood.
He just had a head gasket put in a few months ago. It recently started running rough and dying. He changed fuel filter. His wife just had enough and said get rid of it.
I got it home and popped the hood. I immediately seen the vacuum lines on the front of the engine were cracked and leaking. There is a weird black box on top of the front of the engine all the hoses to that were cracked and leaking. The hoses on what I found out was the pvc heater were shot. They collapsed when I revved it up. You can not get a new pvc heater or the hose for it anymore so I got some that worked. Had to use a hose clamp but they worked.
Now she purrs like a kitten at idle. Drove it 12 miles got home she is running perfect. Later that day I jump in and it started hard. Give it gas and it acts like it going to die. I drove it around the farm got it to some out of it some. Parked it. Got in yesterday and it started hard but when I gave it gas we threw gravel and off we went!
I am seriously scratching my head here. Got to be something I am missing. No check engine light. But I think it has to be electronic.
I also got a 92 grand am parts car with it. The 92 sat for a few years with a leaking sun roof. IT has bad water damage and mold. I don't know it the electronics will even be any good anymore. Will the computer from the 92 work in the 95?
