Pontiac Firebird

The SES light reports any issue sent to it from the myriad of sensors throughout the car. If the light goes out it means that the condition has cleared. It's obvious that at start up the condition does not exist but only shows itself once the car has warmed up a bit and has been driven. Have the computer scanned; lookup the code and repair whatever may be causing the condition.

There's a good chance you have a blown bulb. You'll need to step out of your car with the flasher signal on and look at the front and rear lights to see which one isn't on. Remove the cover for the light that is not on and get a replacement bulb from your local automobile parts shop. Simply push in on the bulb and twist it to remove it.

Follow the larger line from compressor maybe near the drier on the passenger side firewall

the relay for the drivers power window is up under the dash to the right of the gas pedal just in front of the center console

eagle made it, eagle was later bought out by Chrysler Actually the Eagle Summit wagon was made by Mitsubishi. I was also marketed as the Mitsubishi Expo LRV and the Dodge Vista wagon.

Try adding more gas...

Inside the alternator.

Any automatic trans from Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac or Cadillac will bolt right up. A Chevy transmission will NOT bolt up without and adapter. If you change from a TH350 to a TH400 you will have to change your drive shaft yoke and the cross member. Unless you just have one lying around, or find and extremely good deal on one, there is just about no reason to put a TH400 behind a 301.

There is a specialty tool designed for that purpose. You may have a slot or tab in the top of the "strut rod", if you don't have the right tool, you have to use a wrench on the bolt (turning counter clockwise) and a large screw driver on the slot (turning clockwise) or a pair of vise grips on the tab (turning clockwise). I ended up using a "nut splitter", but this isn't the best way, because most struts require that you reuse your hardware. A trip to ACE and I was good.

any Buick, olds or Pontiac turbo 350, turbo 400 or any overdrive tranny should bolt up to your engine.

Carb.? Choke not working or not adjusted properly/ Fuel Injected? Perhaps loosing prime (bad injectors)? Weak fuel pump?

To do it correctly you have to cut out your tail panel and put the '77-'78 tail panel in. As you've probably found out, the bolt patterns and depth of the bolts are different between the two years.

Depends GREATLY on the year of manufacture, and if it was a high or low performance motor from the factory. The highest production motor was the 1969-1970 high compression Ram Air IV at an underrated 370hp @ 5500rpm. Later (after 1974) smog motor 400 4bbl motors were 180-220hp. There were even 2bbl economy 400's that were rated at 170hp. There was also the over the parts counter Ram Air V crate engine in 1969-1970. It had no offical factory HP rating, but close to stock Royal Pontiac tuned test cars back in the day ran 11.60-11.80's at 116-120 mph, suggesting an actual output somewhere over of 500hp. Less than 200 were produced and go for huge money today (like $10k for a set of heads and $5-6K for an intake!)

Remove the large plastic screws around the back, and inside the locked storage area, plus, the ledge at the bottom of the lock (bar) and the small screws on top.

Check all vacuum lines , make sure none have blown off

one thing that you should really know about the firebirds are the fact that they have no grille so there really is no air flow to the engine. They are alreadym notorios for being too hot. What most of these cars rely on is what's called an air dam which is located under your car. This device is aerodynamically designed to re-direct air flow up into the engine to help cool it of. This might be what your problem is. At least that's what was going on with my friends 1988 firebird trans am GTA. Mine is a 1984 abd is equipped with a ram air which sucks it from the top. You should check it out.

Reach underneath to get behind it. You then unplug the light (and holder) to reveal lamp. Similiar to the new halogen headlights where you replace just the bulb instead of the entire casing. It's really a pain to reach it. BE CAREFUL to not touch the glass part of the new bulb. Most are halogen and will burn out prematurely if grease or even oil from your fingers are left on it.
