Re: 2003 Grand Am Gasket issue - Which one?
That reservoir is part of the pressurized system.....so driving the vehicle like that, means you were forcing coolant out of the reservoir through the cracks....
If the temp only got as high as 3/4 and not into the red, you may be ok.....coolant that hasn't been changed in a long time(if ever) does tend to have a "funny" feel to it.....
One problem is, since you leaked the coolant, did you just add coolant or did you burp the engine of air in the system?
Hard to understand how you damaged an ignition wire.......did you replace it?
Did you reconnect the coolant temp sensor? Did you reconnect the MAF and IAT sensors? Are any codes set?
You said the reservoir was leaking....did you replace it? Do you have the proper cap for it?
There cars were known for lower intake leaks.......driving the vehicle low on coolant could lead to head gasket problems....
