Pontiac Firebird

I have a 1990 firebird 3.1l engine.I had the same issue wherein it will idle fine,but when u engage the gears,you will notice it's drop in rpm.I replaced the thermostat first since temperature wasn't going up,then I tested the EGR which failed amp readings,then last would be the MAP sensors.That fixed my problem with the car.After all three parts were replaced,It ran fine and running on 700rpm on idle.

anything is possible with $$$... your question is to vague! need more info... year, and engine info!

Should be a direct bolt in. Basically the same car.

Seatbelts have been proven to save lives when they are used, even though they do cause injuries occasionally. The question here is how can a piece of fabric become the difference between life and death? Everyone knows that a seatbelt keeps a person from flying through the windshield or being thrown into the dashboard when a vehicle comes to a sudden stop. Inertia is the cause of the person flying through the car after the car has come to an abrupt halt. Inertia keeps a car moving in the same direction at a constant speed while the road friction and air resistance work together to slow the car down making the car's engine compensate to keep the car traveling at the determined speed. All objects located in the car, including the people have their own inertia that is separate from the moving car. Inertia causes the objects in the car to be moving the same speed as the car, making them feel like they are one single moving unit. The difference in the two is obvious when the car come to an abrupt halt and the objects inside it continue with the speed that the car was traveling before the halt, and would not stop until it were exposed to an object such as a windshield, dashboard or such. A seatbelt applies the stopping force to more durable parts of the body over a longer period, helping protect the body from more serious injuries. Typically, seatbelts consist of a lap belt and a shoulder belt, which are securely attached to the frame of the car in order to keep passengers in their seats. The seatbelt applies most of the stopping force to the rib cage and the pelvis, widening the area of stopping force so the damage is less. The seatbelt itself, made out of webbing, has more give than a windshield or dashboard making the stop not quite so abrupt. Seatbelts also extend and retract, except when the car comes to an abrupt halt, and then they tighten up and hold the passenger in place. The belt webbing connected to a retractor mechanism creates the seatbelts extending and retracting movement. This retractor mechanism contains a spool attached to one end of the webbing and a spring, located inside the retractor. The spring applies a rotation force to the spool rotating the spool and causing the webbing to wind up. When pulling the seatbelt out, the spool rotates counter-clockwise, turning the attached spring in the same direction. When releasing the seatbelt, the spring tightens up and rotates the spool clockwise until all the slack is taken out of the belt. The retractor also has a locking mechanism that halts the rotating of the spool when the car is in an accident. There are two locking mechanisms used in cars, the car's movement triggers one while the belt's movement triggers the other. Locking mechanisms triggered by the car's movement locks the spool when the car stops abruptly. In this system, the main operating element is a weighted pendulum that swings forward when the car is stopped suddenly. A pawl located on the other end of the pendulum catches a toothed ratchet gear attached to the spool. When the pawl grips the teeth, the gear is unable to rotate counter-clockwise and consequently the spool cannot rotate either. When the seatbelt is loosened after the incident, the gear rotates clockwise and the pawl disengages, releasing the ratchet gear teeth. The second system that locks the spool when the jerking the seatbelt contains a centrifugal clutch, which is a weighted pivoting lever mounted to the rotating spool. As the spool spins slowly, the lever does not pivot and a spring keeps it in position. When jerking the seatbelt the spool is spun quickly, the centrifugal force drives the weighted end of the lever outward, and the lever pushes a cam piece mounted to the retractor housing. When this cam, connected to a pivoting pawl with a sliding pin, shifts left, the pin moves along a groove in the pawl. This movement pulls the pawl into the spinning ratchet gear attached to the spool and locks into the gear's teeth, preventing counter-clockwise rotation. Newer vehicles have a pretensioner that tightens the seatbelt. The pretensioner tightens any slack in the seatbelt when the car is stopped quickly. The pretensioner actually pulls in on the belt, moving the passenger into the optimum crash position. Pretensioners are used with conventional locking mechanisms to create a safer seatbelt system. There are several different pretensioners available from ones that pull the entire retractor mechanism backward to ones that rotate the spool itself. Usually pretensioners are wired to the central control processor that activates air bags. This processor monitors sensors that respond to the abrupt halt and activates the pretensioner first, then the air bag. Seatbelts have saved many lives and will continue to save lives as long as people will use them. Ummm i dont know they smell good though

Any parts store should be able to help you with this , just tell them the year of your car and the engine size.

Put it in park, pull the button off the shifter, it will come off without hurting anything, just has a clip inside. Next remove the snap ring inside the knob, and it pulls off.

Yes it is, the nova is also useable in the camaro or firebird,I put a 73 nova subframe under my 68 camaro.

You can use synthetic fluid in any car, just be sure to get all the old brake fluid out before you add the synthetic.

Is on the pas danger side of the intake a little being the throttle body

Well, you didn't say what engine. So,

For the 3.8L V6 1-6-5-4-3-2 with 1-3-5 on the right (as you look at the engine from the front of the car).

For the inline 6 its 1-5-3-6-2-4

For the 350, 400 and 455 its 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 with the numbers 1-3-5-7 on the Left bank.

Haha, NO!

Since Pontiac itself is no longer in existence, the logical answer would be no.

if it's an auto it is probably a 700r4, also known as a 4l60 ifit is an manual it probably has a borg t-5 nwc.

That is a very broad question. More information would have to be given. Year model. engine size, ac...

Easy answer! Intake & Exhaust, K&N makes and aftermarket air intake for the 98' Firebird so do several other companies but from personal experience nothing beats or surpasses K&N when it comes to adding a few more horses under the hood. Exhaust wise I would recommend a flow master or dynamax muffler or go wild and go loud with a glass pack like cherry bomb or thrush and if you really have balls either go no muffler straight cat or cut the cat and go manifold to muffler, now obviously due to pollution laws most likely in your state this is illegal but i've seen it done, do at your own risk. NOS is another option but expensive and can be dangerous if you don't know what your doing. Anyways there are several more options but just as well several limitations due to the engine being a 3.8l so when all else fails buy a V8! Good luck and happy speeding!

Pontiacs didnt make big blocks.

curtain or sometimes in a dorm room a sheet

You will need a long narrow funnel that will fit in the small hole of the transmission dipstick tube.

if you took the wires off at the battery to change the starter, make sure you put them all back on

The back up lights are switched on the stering column. There is a two piece linkage that is attached to the shifter linkage on the transmission and then that goes up to the sterring column by the firewall in the engine compartment. It connects by the brake vacuum boost unit. Many times this linkage is removed by people when they install headers. To check and see if everything is eworking, start the car and slowly turn the part of the steering column by the dash by hand, it should be a piece about six inches in length. If the linkage is conneccted it will rotate as the shifter in the floor is turned. The backup lights are a part of the neutral safety switch on the sterring column under the dash.

change out the bell housing, ECU and motor mounts.. and your good to go

According to www f-bodyhideout com history page the total number of 1980 Firebirds production was 107,000 units. Half of the previous year. Blamed on the Iranians and the Oil crisis (and possible the near disappearnce of the big block V8.) The turbocharged V8 version had a bad rep.

most likely ground wire problem Bad bulbs?

According to a history of the 3rd en Formula it had the lowest production numbers out of all the previous years with only a bare 2,610 units being produced.

On the top side of the steering column about halfway down, the high beam/low beam headlight switch should be bolted to the column right beside it. Inside the vehicle.
