Pontiac Firebird

take battery cable off its a tempary fix but you have something behind the instrument panel blown

You might have to replace the mass air flow sensor or replace your fuel filter. It sounds as if you arent getting enough gas to your engine. My 98 is doing the same thing. I took it to someone after changing the fuel filter myself and it was the MAF Sensor. This is REALLY simple to replace... and its super easy to get to. Hope this helped

There important because they can sped up the production process, make repairs easy, and allowed the the use of lower paid an less skiled workers.

wire yourself a toggle switch between the battery and fan and run into passenger compartment

Yes. Back then just about any engine/tranny combination was available. Either by the factory or even special order.

yes. the last year of any Pontiac v8 was the 301 in 81. the standard engine in the 82 and up firebirds was the corporate engine-the Chevy 305

The temp sensor is either (depending on the year) is on the intake manifold beside the thermostat housing or on the drivers side head between #1 and #3 spark plugs also the oil pressure switch is beside the distributor.

the oil pressure switch is not always behind the distributor, it depends on if its a small or big block. if its not behind the distributor its on the driver side of the block in the lower right hand corner between the header and the oil filter.

The cable is manual drive on a 1991.It plugs directly in the back of the speedometer.

The starter is located between the engine and transmission on the passenger side just above the exhuast pipe next to the oil pan.

if its an automatic trans, look for an electric plug that plugs into the transmission...disconnect the plug,and see if that cures it...it sounds like your lockup torque converter is not working correctly. if unplugging it works okay, you can drive it without damage but check your gas mileage.....it may lower your mileage 1-2 mpg.. as for fixing it, it requires removing the trans from the car, and isn't simple. but, if you can remove it, and take to a rebuilder, you can save a lot of money.

There were two firebirds used: a 77 and 78. The 78 was a gold SE replicated to match the original 77.

It was offered part way through the '67 selling season a "Dealer installed" option for GTOs. Not sure if they were offered for Firebirds. I would think so. There is a "Firebird only" Verdoro Green colored '67 GTO.

If I understand correctly what you are asking.....The 1993 Camaro (Z28) had an LT1 engine, but used the non-electric version 4L60. The 4L60E was not used until 1994.

Do you mean the GM (chev, etc) 3.1 V6?

It's a throttle body injection engine with no choke.

I owned a '81 Turbo Formula and the best information I could glean from PHS was that 10% of Trans Ams were Turbos in '80 & '81, and if you translate that 10% to the Formula production, there were most likely less than 1000 Turbo Formulas produced. Mine came off the assembly line on 5/21/81, possibly one of the last Turbo Formulas assembled at the Van Nuys Plant. It was special ordered Dark Metallic Brown from California, with no T-Tops and no Z50 appearance package (FOAMULA sticker on the bottom). It was a very rare car that I sold last summer for $4500 just to get rid of it - it ran, was solid, no rust or rot. I sold it to a collector/restorer in Northern Massachusetts. Keep your eye out for it - it also had the special order velour interior that never survived.

under the driver side kick panel

i had a 96 that had the same problem. i would rub a pencil eraser on the computer chip on the key and it would help 90% of the time.

the trans am is a performance package on the firebird originally equipped with larger more powerful engine choices as well as functional hood and fender vents. The trans am was given its name in honor of the trans am race series of the time although it was initially banned from the race on accont of having to large of an engine.

It should be around your mainfold or throttle body, or just follow your top hose that goes to your radiator.

You can buy a totally rerurbished unit from Topdownsolutions.com for about $350.00 They also provide repair parts and kits. Hawks 3rd Gen Camaro, Brocks Camaros, and FBodyMotorsports are also sellers of repair parts. Sellers on EBay actually sell the motor and housing units for about $40-50 each.

remove plastic cover under steer colum shoukd be clipped where your right knee is up under dash get new one so you know what to look for its in a spring clip round

I think that will gain you access to the alarm settings sensitivity and such.

Bad resistor on key?

Bad sensor in ignition lock?
