Pontiac Firebird

On a 1984 Pontiac Firebird with a V6 engine and a 2-barrel carburetor, the coolant temperature sensor is typically located on the engine block, near the thermostat housing or in the cylinder head. It usually has a single-wire connector and is positioned to measure the temperature of the engine coolant accurately. You may need to consult the vehicle’s service manual for precise location details and any specific procedures for replacement.

The firing order for the 1996 V8 5.7L Pontiac Firebird is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. This is a standard firing order for the LT1 engine used in that model. Ensuring the correct firing order is crucial for proper engine operation and performance.

To replace the radiator on a 1996 Pontiac Firebird, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery cable. Drain the coolant by removing the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator, then detach the upper and lower radiator hoses, and unplug the transmission cooler lines if equipped. Remove the radiator mounting bolts and lift the radiator out of the vehicle. Install the new radiator by reversing the process, ensuring all connections are secure and refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant.

On a 1990 Pontiac Firebird Formula with a 305 injected engine, the radiator fan switch is typically located on the engine's coolant thermostat housing or near the radiator itself. It may be mounted on the side or bottom of the housing, depending on the specific configuration. To access it, you might need to remove any surrounding components for better visibility. Always consult the service manual for precise locations and instructions.

To reset the security light on a 2001 Pontiac Firebird, first ensure that you have the correct key that corresponds to your vehicle's security system. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position without starting the engine. Leave it in this position for about 10 minutes until the security light turns off, then turn the key to the "Off" position and back to "On" again. This should reset the security system and turn off the light.

The OBD code P0147 for a Pontiac Firebird indicates an issue with the oxygen sensor circuit, specifically related to the sensor located after the catalytic converter (bank 1 sensor 3). This code typically points to a malfunctioning oxygen sensor, wiring issues, or problems with the engine control module (ECM). It's important to diagnose the specific cause, as it can affect fuel efficiency and emissions. Checking the sensor connections and replacing the sensor if necessary are common steps for resolution.

most part stores sell just the pulley bearing are ussaly press in so you need the pulley

cut the back speaker wire going to one of the rear speakers.. take the pos and neg into the amp.. if the amp only takes RCA inputs you will need to buy a line level converter.. turns pos neg into RCA.. also you must wire up a switch for turning the amp on.. just a 12volt source works

This is caused by the fuel pump burning up. Replace the fuel pump. The easiest way to do this is to cut a hole in back above the fuel pump !!*** CAUTION***!! Be careful there are possible gasoline fumes that could ignite! Take care and watch the fuel lines. Check your fuses. Good luck

yes, its not a question of what will fit...its a question of how much money you want to spend.

No aftermarket company currently makes a turbo kit for any late model v6 F-bodys. A guy names Tiago designed and built a prototype system for both with incredibly results (340hp on the 3.4 and over 380hp (untuned) with boost leaks on the 3.8, but both were prototypes of a personally owned company that has not been marketed yet). To build one yourself you'll first need access to good pipe bending and welding equipment. Youll need to fabricate a Y-pipe that runs back to the engine bay where you can weld a flange for both the turbo and the wastegate. Youll also need to fabricate a custom downpipe that runs from the turbo to the exhaust system. As far as the intercooler is concerned, because the best way to take advantage of 3.8 liters of displacement is to use turbo whose A/R trim is between 55 and 65, and you dont need to run boost over 7psi, an intercooler is totally necessary. The best way to position it is actually horizontally between the back of the front bumper and the radiator (so that it points down and the plastic underbody spoiler actually scoops air INTO the intercooler and gives it a very sleeper look). The rest is simple: weld a blowoff valve onto the IC piping and run the piping to the turbo and the other side to the MAF/TB in the front of the car. Logistically, its not that hard to make one, but fabricating an entire custom exhaust system is what becomes the true challenge. Keeping it simple is one thing, but making it the right size so you dont have to do tons of other upgrades like fuel delivery and ignition is another. If you have the means, money, and will do develop your own custom system; do it to it, with tuning and some down time, turbo 3.8s are meaner than any old stang or vettes around and to lift the hood is to put them to shame. -jay (avatar2390@hotmail.com)

Prices for labor vary with what part of the country you live in. Call a couple of local body shops for extimates.

It is probably a bad ground most intermittent problems with electric components are

For the most part yes almost everything bolts up the same except for the valance where it attaches to the fenders. 74 and older fenders have to have a bracket installed on the lower section in order to hold the valance.
