Engine Mechanical problem
2001 Pontiac Grand Am 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
We went to the gas station shut the car off filled up and when we went to start the car it would only crank and try to catch. We waited a few mins and tried again but to no avail. We called the dealer and arranged a tow. While waiting, after about half an hour, we tried it again and it fired over no problem. Someone said it might be the cam sensor or fuel pump. However I bled the fuel rail and had tons of pressure while my wife cranked it over(before we got it started finally). Also, I could smell fuel in the throttle area. The security light occasionally comes on and then goes off. The service engine light stays on all the time even after the dealer repaired the car twice, once replacing the O2 sensor and once saying it was a throttle position sensor problem.
