What happens if I drive with no power steering?
I have a Honda del Sol without power steering, so I can give some perspective on this.There are two different situations you could be talking about.First, a car made without power steering. My Honda is like that. In this case, you notice the steering is a little hard when stopped or driving slowly, but it feels fine above 20 mph. In other words, the steering feels stiff when parking, but fine all other times. It really helps to get the tires rolling before trying to turn the steering wheel.Second, a car with power steering, but it just went out. It could be the power steering pump failed or the engine stopped. You can still steer, but it will be very difficult. More difficult than the car without power steering. You will probably have to use both hands firmly to wrestle the steering wheel to steer. If the engine stopped, you will lose the power brakes too.I've never tried to drive a car with failed power steering. I've experienced this when the engine stopped. In those cases, I've focused on pulling the car over, and getting it stopped safely. I think you would find it very tiring to drive a car with failed power steering for a long trip. Again, though, the steering will be easier when the car is moving.
What size gas tank does a Pontiac Grand Prix SE have?
You do not need the fuel tank capacity to figure fuel mileage. Fill the tank, reset the trip odometer or record the mileage, Drive the vehicle a couple hundred miles, refill the tank , note the amount of gallons it took, record the miles you drove. Divide the number of miles driven by the gallons used. Example: 212.8 miles, 10.6 gallons used. 212.8 miles driven divided by 10.6 gallons used = 20.075 Miles per gallon. You may want to do this several times so that you get a good sample of driving conditions. Bumper to bumper traffic equals poor mileage, city traffic equals less than desirable mileage and highway, steady cruise speed (approx. 65-70) will probably bring the best results.
Could Pontiac Come Back In The Near Future?
While your question was well typed and thought out it's not feasible. This isn't the 80's and 90's anymore, we don't need multiple versions of the same car. I mean how many versions of the Cobalt did we need? lol. This is new automotive world, there's just NO room for Pontiac. Don't get me wrong, I'm a die hard Pontiac guy(hell, look at my profile pic), but reality is reality, no room, no need for that product line. Pontiac was supposed to be GM's "excitement" division but in reality it was just a rebadged Chevy.... Patrick, are you serious? I mean really? Some garbage youtube video is being passed along as "fact"? It's a CONCEPT and Pontiac is DEAD! DEAD DEAD DEAD, there is not Pontiac GTO, there is NO Pontiac Trans Am. Where do idiots like you get your info from? Every one of your answers is filled with horribly inaccurate info, stop answering...seriously.

What are some symptoms of a bad idle air control sensor?
Idle air control valves open to allow more air to "leak" into the intake, raising the engine rpms, or close when not needed. When your AC compressor kicks in or power steering is activated as you suddenly turn the steering wheel, the sudden drag on the drive belt will bog down the engine. These systems send a signal to the engine computer telling it they are active and it then signals the IAC valve to open, which increases the engine speed. Without this occurring, the engine could struggle, or die. The IAC valve can cause weird idle issues, mess with throttle functionality or cause the car to die. Sometimes they fail, get stuck or just get all carboned up. Sometimes people have success at cleaning them, but generally it is best to replace them when bad. Idle issues and even problems with the IAC valve may not be due to the IAC valve being bad itself. An idle issue does not mean the IAC valve is bad. It is best to pay close attention to how the vehicle is acting, and then communicate that clearly and as completely as possible to your mechanic. Intermittent problems can be very hard to diagnose. Details will help. Knowing more about the vehicle in question and its symptoms (in detail) will also help in understanding more about what it is doing.
