Engine Q&A 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Grand Prix? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Grand Prix firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Are Pontiac Grand Prix engine noises bad? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Pontiac Grand Prix engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage my Pontiac Grand Prix engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.
  • Is it okay to put water in my Pontiac Grand Prix radiator? It’s not recommended you put water in your Grand Prix radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.
  • What can cause the engine in my Grand Prix to suddenly stop? If your Grand Prix car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
