THIS IS MY FIRST POST
Hello,
A friend of mine had a 1997 pontiac gran prix gtp supercharged sitting at his place for a few years. All he knew was it squeaked really loud... Not a car person...
Anyway, I traded him a bike for the car cause he just wanted it gone...
Checked for oil, and threw in a battery. It started right up.
replaced the belts, water pump ( his was stuck causing all the noise and destroying the belts ), one belt tension bracket assembly thing, a few idler pulleys, and thermostat. It started again and made no bad noises, just smooth v6 with a bit of supercharger whine. Only ran it for about 15 seconds cause it has no coolant. I wanted to wait for the gasket seal to harden and put in coolant along with a oil and filter change tomorrow.
Anything I should look for with this series of car to keep it running? It seem like it might be another lucky buy.
In the past I inherited my grandfathers 1994 oldsmobile 88 with the 3800 series naturally aspirated engine but that car is long gone. How do these compare?
Thanks!!!
