I just recently/regrettably bought a 93 Pontiac Grand Am - 3.3L V6 engine 126k - with a fuel injector problem that turned into a transmission problem. Before I had a chance to bring it in, transmission went out. A local shop put in a used transmission with 60,000 miles on it, and the torque converter (not sure on it, most likely came with used transmission) - still hesitated. They put in new spark plugs and wires, new fuel filter (apparently was the original) and then 2 new fuel injectors. They removed the catalytic converter which had been a cause of the problem also, made the car louder but I was told it wasn't crucial to the car. Finally got the car back after they had it 2 weeks, while driving it home on the highway, around a bending curve to the right, heard a grinding sound and the center console was vibrating, could feel it through the gas pedal. Got to my driveway and it died, started it up and put it in reverse and it died. Turned off heat after it sat, got it to shift, then..
