I was curious of what could be wrong with my 1999 pontiac grand am se. We charge the battery up for a couple hours it still wont start. Also it over heats alot. Uses alot of antifreeze and has alot of smoke coming from the muffler. It also makes a chopping noise from the muffler.

Have pressure checked for a head gasket /intake gasket leak. Doesn't start meaning what? Won't turn over? Or won't run, if it won't run, scan for codes and check fuel pressure first, but soundslike you have a head gasket problem
