Blown head gasket
Well they are known to blow head gaskets and have intake gasket leaks also. If the car doesnt run it sounds like the gasket blew out between two clynders. If you have the equptment do a compresson test on all 6clynders and see if the are all about the same dont for get to remove the fuel pump relay before you start and un hook the coils
Turns over but no spark
It could be a bad fuse or a bad fuel pump not providing fuel for the car. It could also be an issue with the timing belt.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Car drives fine but when
The 1995 Grand Am was GM's worst nightmare. At 120,000 the transmission is going to just blatantly fail on you w/out notice. Problems with this make and model is if it was created between 1995-96 the transmission problems are goin to start. Even if you swap the crankshaft sensor, ignition module, and coils. I had one go at the mileage i just submitted. The computer also has malfunctions. It is indeed time to rid your vehicle, Sorry. Thnx 4 using fixya.com :-)
Lost power to Ignition,power window's and heater all at the same time.
There are special wires called fuseable links that protect the major circuits such as the key switch. It sounds like you fried one of them. The wires are usually connected to the large post on the starter. If you did fry one of them, you'll need to track down the short before you repair the wire, otherwise it will do it again.
95 grand am radiator fan only runs with AC on
Cooling Fan Temp Sensor is the First thing You Check (with what you have described) Cooling Fan Should ALways come On When The A/C is turned On as A/C Adds A Load to Engine, If Temp Sensor is Faulty it Will Not Give GROUND Signal to ECM >For COOLING FAN >RELAY to Give ground and turn ON The Fan.
There ARE 2 temp Sensors that Serve Different Purposes 1 is for Dash READING GAGE & Or TEMP LIGHT the Other is For ECM or Fan Relay (SAME Thing) you Said>""can disconnect the sensor and fan continues to run" < This Leads me to think you Changed the Wrong One. Not Questioning your Skills Just Here to Help.
TEMP SENSOR FOR 3.1L V6 is Located upper RH rear of engine compartment, near exhaust system. Temp SENSOR for 2.3L Engine is Located in LH rear of engine compartment.
I Hope this Helps Lead you to a NON-OVERHEATING Pontiac.
Good Luck and Have A Great Evening. rejakwilson
