Re: 1989 Grand Am

sounds like a stuck EGR valve. It should be closed when the engine is cold, and open when it's warm.

I had an Olds Calais with the same engine and the same problem. I fixed it with a bottle of fuel injector cleaner and changing the oxygen sensor.

I think it was the oxygen sensor telling the computer the wrong air/fuel mixture, but cleaning the injectors did hurt either.
