I have a 1990 firebird 3.1l engine.I had the same issue wherein it will idle fine,but when u engage the gears,you will notice it's drop in rpm.I replaced the thermostat first since temperature wasn't going up,then I tested the EGR which failed amp readings,then last would be the MAP sensors.That fixed my problem with the car.After all three parts were replaced,It ran fine and running on 700rpm on idle.

Rule of thumb: Open needle valve 1-1/2 turns and start the engine, let it warm up then slowly rotate needle valve clockwise until engine wants to stall then rotate needle valve counterclockwise until engine wants to stall. Set the valve in between the two extremes and fine tune from there for best setting.

Both Light motors won't close on 1991 Pontiac firebird fuses fine what could be the cause?

Had the same issue, took the motors, cleaned the shafts and metal bearings, lubricated them, put fresh grease on the gears and re-installed them. Now they work just fine. Doesn't take much for those motors not to spin.
