Hi gang, I am a new member to the group and new to Pontiac Grand Prix ownership. I purchased a used 01' GP SE and I think I bought a car with some issues. I am reading the forum and trying to locate certain answers to some of the questions that I may have regarding diagnosing the car. Here is a list of some of the problems.
1. AC/Heat fan blows on 5 and none of the lower speeds.
2. The fuel gauge is reading bad. For some reason the gauge is jumping between 1/2 & 3/4 & full.
3. Driver's side window switch works intermittently.
4. Just noticed today that the car acts like it has no power when you try to drive up hill. I also smell a peculiar odor like fresh gas. The engine oil life sensor is flashing now where it wasn't the other day. I am leaning towards cat converter being bad but wanting to be sure.
Plus, I was wanting to know for my own information. This car has a "Trac" button that does nothing when you push it. I was told from the seller that this car did not come with traction control. Was this an option or did he pull the wool over my eyes?
