being a 97 the first thing i would check is the condition of the fins on the rad if they are loose look no further if they are good and solid then the thermostat the radiator cap not holding pressure the fan belt too loose or crap in the rad good luck
Does your Firebird have a Chevy or Pontiac motor in it?If it is a Pontiac motor, you will need an adapter from Summit or Jeg's.Also, it could be a different output shaft length and spline count.
bad gas?
There are many reasons why a Jeep Wrangler is overheating. A leak in the radiator system will cause overheating. Too much pressure in the engine can cause overheating. A bad water pump or thermostat could cause overheating. The transmission can also cause overheating if it is leaking.
yes it can
Overheating the engine shouldn't effect the transmission. Overheating the transmission could.
you could be low on coolant
A bad thermostat can cause overheating in a Nissan Frontier when the air conditioning is turned on. A bad compressor can also cause this.
Yes it could.
could be low coolant due to a leak, clogged rad, inoperative cooling fan, thermostats.... overheating conditions can have alot of causes. you need to do some digging.
Icm ignition control module bad valve or head gasket bad injector
If your talking about an ls1 then no it does not unless it is a high performance timing chain then it could be double
very well could be a bad switch.
