It just started the shaking and power loss I am losing antifreeze but never see any leaks. There is oil on the bottom of engine I think it's oil but my dilema I think is I found a line that goes to my asscry on left top of engine and runs to some ball looking thing by driver front tire under battery and it's dried up and broke how would I figure out how to run it or get a dagram also I found a hose ruunning from some little metal line under the brake booster and it's the top one I don't know where it goes either I think if I can get a picture or diagram or someone explain it my car will run better I'm a student in college I have a 3 kids and a mother I don't really have the money to take to a shop my husband is in iraq until january can some one please help me god bless you thank you
 
First do you intend to fix the problem yourself? If not find a competent shop in you area. Is the check engine light on? If you remove the oil fill cap do you see any brownish sludge? You may want to pick up a Hanes or Chilton manual if you intend to do your own repairs.
 
re: help please

I see brownish sludge in the radiator I only have water in there right now till I can get some antifreeze I plan on doing it myself I'm a quick learner I have done all the work on my grand prix. The hose I found under the hood under the brake booster goes to this metal line that goes strait back to the gas tank or right above it should this be hooked up it's just lien around under the hood I have 3 kids and the car is giving me alot of trouble also I found this little box called a map sensor and the plug that has four prongs is broke at the base is this a problem please respond or help any way you can
 
The MAP sensor has to be hooked up for the car to run correctly. You probably should try and find a Hanes or Chilton manual to refer to inorder to come up with the names of the things you are trying to describe.

what is that...a manual ? Is there no way to look it up in my manual the map sensor is hooked up it's just cracked at the base of the plug that goes into the actuall map sensor and the vaccums are hooked up . What causes the motor to shake and lose engine power bc it was running great until I had the spark plugs, ac ,and fans changed
 
did you go back to the person who made the repairs and tell him that you have a problem since he did the work? Do you have a check engine light on? There can be many reasons why the engine isnt running correctly, difficult to point out what the problem is over the internet.
 
yes he won't return my call no engine light just vibration and shaking loss of pwer
 
is there any way I can find what I would need to start checking or maybe where to look is there any pontiac mechanics or techs on here

what about removing a broken key from my ignition don't you have to disable the airbags and take the whole column apart
 
does any one have pictures of a 95-96 setup or that can take a pic and email it of where that hose belongs
