I have a 2002 Pontiac Gramd Am and its in the shop right now getting the Intake Manifold Gasket fixed on it! Its about $2000 with labor costs and everything! Rediculous! Its supposidly VERY common in these vehicles....They should do a re-call!
I was having a problem with my intake manifold gasket on my 2003 Pontiac grand am and i took it to a shop it was 600 dollars parts and labor you can get it much cheaper i just chose a mechanic i could trust. now it may not be intake manifold gasket the best way to tell is to lift your oil cap look at the backside of it and if there is a blueish tint liquid on the cap then your getting condensation which means bad intake gasket. But it can also be your thermostat housing messing up which would be much cheaper.
