Thread: 97 Grand Prix GT ?'s <----New Guy

I am having some issues with my car.

The ABS light, Check Tire Pressure, and the Traction Control lights are on. I think it is the Front drivers side Wheel Speed Sensor it started giving me problems a few days after washing my car i sprayed inside the wheel to clean the rim and wheel and there was smoke very little or steam coming from it i thought it was just the heat generated at the wheels and brakes from the water hitting it i started having issues with the lights a few hours later driving wise.

Other issue i am having is fueling up i cannot put the pumps on auto fill they stop automatically everytime, The little metal clasp inside where you put the fuel in is bent inward a little bit and i don't know what the problem is or how to fix it.

yet another problem is it is running hot runs a little after the 210 on the guage was thinking it maybe the fact that the Antifreeze lookes kinda gumed up or maybe the Tstat not sure but going to see about changing out the Tstat soon if there is anyone with any pics of the location of the Tstat on a 97 Grand Prix GT i thank you in advance.

Thanks for your help in advance or any input for that matter.

bump ?

? is there anyone out there that may know anything about these issues ?

start by checking the wiring and all ground wires,buy a can of electronic cleaner and pull the connections and spray them,i see this alot on larger equipment i work on

Got the main problems with Tstat and the other error lights( wound up being a wheel speed sensor not being clipped up on where it should have been.) but i am still having a problem with a code PO441 which is something to do with this :

EVAP Emission Control System Purge Flow Fault

but i have no idea what to do. ?
