Pontiac Firebird

For 5.0L V8 engine. 1. Disconnect battery. For safety, cover the + & - battery metal connectors with a rag so they don't short out. 2. Place a 1/2" drive ratchet into the belt tensioner and rotate counter-clockwise. Remove belt from alternator. 3. Disconnect wire attached to the back of the alternator it's held on with a nut (you may have to remove rubber boot first). 4. Disconnect power plug going into alternator, it's held on with a clip. 5. Remove the bracket nut (not sure what size) on the back of the alternator. Remove the (2) torx bits (not sure what size) in front of the alternator. Remove alternator. Note: If you don't have Torx bits, try to get Torx bits that attach to a ratchet; this will aid in removal & installation. 6. When installing new alternator, start with Torx bits first, then the bracket nut (don't fully tighten the Torx bits or the bracket nut until they are hand tight, then tighten as normal. Install the wire that connects to back of alternator, then the power plug. Reattach belt. Good Luck!!

Most likely missing the lower dipstick tube. Its function is to direct the dipstick away from the rotating assembly and down into the oil. The tube is located in the oil pan and is pressed into the upper tube (the one visible on the outside of the engine). Do you have trouble pressing the dipstick in all the way? Does it feel like it is hanging up on something near the bottom? This could cause problems as the dipstick can get "chewed up" by the rotating crankshaft and connecting rods, possibly causing engine damage. The bad part is to replace the lower tube you must remove the oil pan which usually means pulling the engine.

I have a 1991 GTA, take off the plastic cover where your hood release is [by your left drivers foot], behind that is the body of the car. you will see a black rubbery square cover. It's kind of like resin. peel it back, and you will be able to see a black plastic box with thick purple & orange wires and maybe a yellow & black stripe on one. These are all related to your starting system. Pop that plastic cover off with a screwdriver. You will find a contact. If you squeeze the contact and hold it while turning the key your car should start.

simple..... drain oil from drain pan and change filter a small plug on the pan is what your looking for

this question makes no sense

how many 1969 Pontiac firebirds were painted espresso brown

I had this issue and was scratching my head for about a week. If you have $500 bucks laying around I'd say take it to GM and get it fixed but here's what you need to do. Go to pretty much any auto parts store and purchase an ignition lock cylinder, mines was 34.99. it comes with 2 keys but these keys they provide will not start your car. You'll need to take that key to a locksmith and have them create you a "VATS" key, mines was 25.99. If you don't get the VATS key made you security light will continue to blink thus causing you car to stay in the "locked mode". You can rent a repair manual from your local library for step by step installation. IF YOUR SECURITY LIGHT IS BLINKING AND STALLS AFTER THE FIRST ATTEMPT THEN FOLLOW WHAT YOU'VE JUST READ IT WILL WORK. $35+$26= $61.

THAT SAVES YOU $439. GOOD DAY...

factory recommendation is to cut a hole in the inner fender well to access/replace it.

The dwell for the points should be 30 degrees. The spark plug gap should be .040".

when looking at the front of the engine it is below the altinator slightly to the right

You may be talking about the fuel vent. The evaporation emission control valve. If so, it is on the line running out of the fuel tank.

Hi, the firing order should be the same as all GM engines. 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 On the left side from the front, you have 1-3-5-7 and on the riehg side (passenger) from the front is 2-4-6-8 Hope this helps.

try getting a chiltons repair manual for your car at the library.

The 87 firebird is rear-wheel drive. all firebirds from "67" to end of production in "02" are rear wheel drive

There is one is each exhaust manifold, and one before and after convertor. The convertor can be seen if you lay on the ground and look under pass side of car. Follow that towards the front of car and you will see a pipe that makes a "y". The "Y" leads to manifolds on the drivers and pass side of car. In there you will find the sensor.

sounds like you need to replace power window master switch

According to Haynes the 1995 has a hypoid, semi-floating type and some have the optional locking limited-slip axle. The identification and manufacturers codes are stamped on the right rear axle tube on the front side.
