Check gas cap

You'll need to get the computer scanned for trouble codes.
Chances are there is a small leak in the EVAP system. Could be a valve or hose in addition to the gas cap.

CAR WON'T STAY RUNNING

when key on and engine off, does the security light flash constantly? if so its shutting down the fuel pump, it starts momentarily due to the computer priming the engine with fuel. how to reset, turn key to run position, leave it on touch nothing, takes 10-12 minutes, start watching light around 10 minutes. it will stop flashing... turn key off, then back on and start this will reset the security system. they are sensitive on this platform car it will happen again. good luck!

Change oil soon light. how to get it to shut off

Answer The "change oil" light on a 2001 Grand Prix is reset by pressing the gas pedal three times while the vehicle is in "accessory" mode:

1. Turn the car off.
2. Place the ignition key in the "on" position, without starting the car. That is, turn the key forward to the place right before it fires the engine.
3. Place your foot on the gas pedal and press it all the way down three times, waiting approximately one second between presses.

If done correctly, the "change oil" light will flash repeatedly, and will then reset.

Please note that it is rare to do this successfully on the first try; if it does not work, turn the car off and try the procedure again, varying the wait slightly between pedal presses at each attempt

Car turns over but will not fire

Most likely a problem with your Passlock security system. Everyone who owns a 2001 or 2002 Grand Am seems to have an issue with this sooner or later. In a nutshell, the car thinks you are trying to steal it and shuts off the fuel injectors. I tried everything, but ended up opening up the dashboard and cutting the wires to the Passlock system. It was actually really simple and have not had the issue since...I cut the wires two years ago. Google it and I'm sure you'll have no problem finding the directions on which wires to cut. Someone actually stumbled on the solution when they called GM to see how to install a remote starter in their Grand Am.
