Starting Pontiac Grand Prix After 19 Years + Test Drive

1991 Pontiac Grand Prix 2.3 119kW

A Grand Prix in Estonia with a Quad 4. Doesn’t get much stranger than that.

I KNOW, RIGHT?? I was 100% expecting a 2.8 or 3.1 under there and was quite shocked when he opened the hood to reveal a Quad 4 lol. I'm also from...well...Stuck in Ohio.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the Quads were a thing in the EU-market Pontiacs, same for the Trans-Sport, as it could also have the 2.3

I have owned no less than 5 of this generation Grand Prix, including one in this exact color. I was expecting a 2.8 or 3.1, but not the Quad 4. Despite that, I'm not at all surprised it fired up so easy even after sitting in a pond for God knows how long. I've also seen, and owned, rustier Grand Prixs than that 🤣

[@supermolibden5037]

Or maybe since version 3.1 LHO, you have an upper air filter housing left somewhere? I'm looking all over the world for this part because mine is damaged. I have such a Pontiac in collector's condition. Regards, Adam from Poland

[@supermolibden5037]

@Helo735 If it worked, it would be something extraordinary. This is very important to me, but so far no one has been able to help. There were a lot of these cars, but they ended up in scrapyards somewhere and no trace of them was lost. I've been looking for it for...several years 😐

I have watched a video of a group of guys racing these cars in a field. Beating the hell out of them. It was interesting to watch. You could tell the SS from the standard Grand Prix's in the race. Though I have never owned a Grand Prix. I did own a 04 Grand Am. I miss that car.

Now I’m thoroughly impressed. Those old Quad 4 engines rarely ran correctly when they were in good condition, let alone how this one was.

[@jamespn]

How a Pontiac Gran Prix ever made it to Estonia is a mystery to me.

[@matthewbowen5841]

They were officially marketed there by GM Europe, with Euro-spec sealed beam headlights and standard rear fog lights. This one does not seem to be a Euro spec one, with the aero headlights and fog-less rear bumper. So probably an ex-military owned car.

[@JPVolvo]

These Quad 4 2.3 were great little engines, some made over 180hp in the early 90s, impressive even today for a 2.3

Especially in the Beretta and Calias with a stick

I'm impressed about the ignition system with module and coil built as a rail direct over the plugs. here in germany the former GM division Opel had at this point a separate coil with distributor and wires to the plugs. back then the ignition of the 2.3L in the Pontiac was really progressive.
