Re: david-b's 2001 Grand Am DD fix

Just wanted to give an update on this...

After playing around with this thing for too long, thinking it was the security system locking the car down, I called my old mechanic to check it out.

After we did a compression test, it was: 120, 25, 0, 0

I towed it to his garage and he started tearing it down. This is being done in his spare time, not at the shop he works at. Doing this to save some money. Somehow the water pump seized up and the last time I tried to start it the timing chain skipped 2 teeth. So now he's checking the valves.

Hoping to have back to me before the year is out.
