Pontiac Firebird

I believe its located where your induction system is. look by the radiator, then go upward and it should be the closesr one to you on the right side.

No it did not, But it did like to spen rod bearings at high RPM. Oiling problem

Depends on overall condition, mileage, options, etc...

Use fuel system cleaner, if it doesn't help you could have a problem with the cadalidic converter or the head gasket.

This could be because you have coolant burning inside the combustion chamber(s). If you are leaking coolant, but cannot find the leak i.e. no puddles, then it is probable that your head gasket is leaking, your head is cracked, or both. If you are handy with tools, rent/buy a compression tester. If you have low compression in two adjacent cylinders, you probably have a blown head gasket. Not an easy fix. Sorry to say that.

You may be able to get a solution from AAP that can fix the head gasket leaks. I do not know what the brand name is but they say it works. Just drain the coolant, rerun the solution through, flush and add fresh coolant. I have never tried that though.

Good luck.

Well, There's quite a few things you can do. Everythign ranging from Ordering parts like Headers, intake manifold, camshaft, nitrous, supercharger (or turbo), changing the settings in the ECU (Fuel injected motor). all kinds of stuff. the list goes on and on. Email me i can get you the parts :-) -chris 1987Formula@live.com

99.9% of the problems associated with headlight problems for you guys is NOT related to the nylon gear failure! You guys are fortunate in that your problem can likely be fixed with less than a buck's worth of supplies from a common place such as Home Depot or any hardware store. In the 4th gens, the shaft which turns to raise and lower the headlight is connected to the gear via a rubber piece which sets in the gear itself or, in the case of brass gears with no rubber, the shaft is actually connected via tabs to the brass gear. In the 3rd generation Firebirds, this actual physical connection doesn't exist. Instead, in each light are located three hard "pucks". These pucks provide the mechanical connection between the nylon gear and the shaft which raises or lowers the headlight. Over time, these pucks will actually disintegrate into small granules and dust! The very good news for you guys is these pucks are nothing special. You can use just about anything you can get your hands on that is the proper size and will fit in the areas these three pucks "used" to be located at. I recommend using a thick rubber hose or tubing of the proper diameter and length (1/2" outside diameter and about 1/2" in length) but I have heard of one guy who didn't want to go out and buy anything but had a hot glue stick laying around so sliced off some pieces of that instead! I don't recommend that though since I don't know how long the glue stick will last in there :) Instead, slice three 1/2" pieces off your hose/tubing and drop them in place where your pucks used to be located. Once you do this you can put your light back together and you'll be good to go! Total cost for this fix is about $0.12 or there abouts :)

take out your headlight motor and open it up. If you see a bunch of dust and granules in there you will probably also find your gear to be just fine and all you need to do is perform the fix I mention above. Good luck and consider yourself lucky you don't have the expense the 4th generation guys have!

I found this thru a website and just cut and pasted it for everyone to use. I am going to try it this weekend and I hope it helps you. The website is

Only the T/A comes with the hood bird.

The word "Firebird" was an identifying model of auto from the Pontiac Motor Division. The body design was exact to the Chevy Camaro (both cars are made by GM). The more outstanding design was the addition of a hood decal of a flaming firebird on top, and a rear trunk winddeflector or spoiler that would create downforce when at speed.Varying models would come out in economical cars (like today's) up to the high performance street/race models. Years of models are roughly from the late '60s to themid '70s, before the first gas crisis. For an excellent view of a Pontiac Firebird, get the movie of "Smoky and the Bandit"with Burt Reynolds.

The key lock and the electric motor are two separate items they are conected by a lever. It sounds like the lever is binding

sounds like a bad key tumbler

More than likely the thermostat is stuck closed or staying closed too long. If it is truly stuck closed, coolant will overflow out of the the reservoir tube as the engine begins to overheat, however if it heats up and sometimes cools off the thermostat could be failing.

The thermostat is located beneath the waterneck where the upper radiator hose connects atop the engine. Two bolts will remove the waterneck. Expect 1 pint or more of coolant to backup through the opening when removed. Drain some of the radiator using the drain plug on the bottom of the radiator, or put a large drip pan beneath the car, expecting the engine to get wet. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL, do not let the distributor get wet...its on the front of the motor beneath the water pump.

Additionally, there is an airdam affixed to the underside of the front bumper. This acts a diverter for the flow of air into the radiator. If this piece is severely damaged or removed, the radiator will fail to cool the engine properly.

The question you ask is too involved for a proper answer. You need to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00

per Chilton's, the firing order of the 78 toro, 403cu in. is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. The same as the 455cu

Firing order should be cast into intake in front of carb if you have factory cast iron intake but above answer is right

also it has a counter clockwise rotation unlike the corporate engine firing order

rear wheel drive

6"-3/4

4X6 in dash

6X9 in rear/sail panels

Each cylinder has it's own injector

Pretty simpple (you might need to write this down) 1,2,3,4,5,6 is the firing order. Funny. The firing order is based on the 3.4L distributorless system in the vehicle - (and no it's not 1-6). Buy yourself a Chilton's guide or go to any auto parts store and they'll look it up for free.

Under the dash of passenger side unbolts from bottom of ducting. (squirrel cage fan)

No, wrong answer, the heater fan motor on all second generation f-body cars (1970-1981 camaro, firebird, trans am) is found in the right side fender, with a/c or not.

v8 is 18436572 left bank has 1357

Need to know what year it is. there all di

year 1992

vaccum leak

Check your vacuum lines for any hissing. If someone can correct me, There should be a vacuum line routing sticker under the hood. Also check your air hose from the air box to the throttle body. I had this problem on my Sunfire and I needed an intake hose and it was fixed. Good luck.

If one is bad then both rear need replaced, you need to take the back brake shoes off and then take the brake line out of the wheel cylinder in the back of it and there are 2 bolts that hold the cylinder onto the backing plate, take the bolts out and then the cylinder will come off, just reverse the process to reinstall the new cylinder and be sure when you have everything back together to bleed the back wheel cylinders.

If your talking the spring on a power window it helps raise the window when you activate the power window so it takes some stress off the motor.
