What can I do for my '95 Firebird when you put the key in the 'on' position but no accessories and the gauges won't come up and when you try to start the car it won't turn over?

first question. does the key have the chip in it? if it does its the sensor in the ignition wont read the chip and that wont let the engine turn over. i had the same problem and thought it was the starter. a new ignition switch could be a way to fix that but you can over ride it if you know how to deal with electrical wiring. any questions send me an e-mail wlmhardin11@yahoo.com

Where to get a key for a 1978 Pontiac firebird?

If you do not have one to copy, then a locksmith can make one from scratch, or, replace the lock, as the new one will have a key. A wrecking yard ought to be able to help you save a couple bucks on one.

My 79 firebird wont shift by itself. i checked the fluid while ideling and chased down my vacuum hoses and that's not it either. maybe modulator valve?

I had this problem on a car once. If it won't shift by itself, but it does shift when you go through the gears manually, it's the vacuum modulator. Replace it and you'll be good to go.

How do you install a belt tensioner on a 1999 Pontiac Firebird 3.8L engine?

Autozone doesn't have the online repair guide yet for your car, BUT, for about $13.00 Autozone has a repair MANUAL for it with step by step pics ect. NO, I don't work for Autozone but they are very handy to have close by. LOL

It isn't very hard..but make sure that the car is completely cool before you do this, you'll save yourself from being burnt from antifreeze!

-remove the alternator

-you will loose antifreeze so either catch it or just refill it when your done

-remove the 2 hoses that are connected to the tensioner and unscrew all the bolts(there are only a few)

-i would suggest putting some grease on the new tensioner before you try and out it back on because it is hard to get in otherwise

-put the bolts back on and make sure they are tight

-put the alternator back on

-put the serpentine belt back on and ur good to go

when you are done make sure you replace the antifreeze and watch for any leaks..it may leak a little bit from one area, it could be because there is an air bubble or its just flushing out any dirt(kinda like auto burpping)

How do you disarm an alarm system on a 1998 Pontiac Firebird?

I also have a problem with an annoying alarm on my firebird, depending on whether it is an aftermarket system or a factory system here are a few ideas that may help. 1. Some alarm systems will have a switch underneath the driverside dash, flip it on and off three times (sometimes its a differant number) and it should do the trick. 2. Aftermarket alarm systems usually have the fuse for the alarm in the somewhere in the factory fuse box, although this fuse will most likely not be labled if u one by one disconnect differant fuses and check to see if the alarm is still working it is worth the time. 3. Depending on the alarm there may be a valet switch located somewhere in the cabin, the valet switch will temporaraly disable the alarm until you switch it back on. 4. I dont recommend using this last bit of advice im about to give but if the alarm is annoying enough and you have just about had it with the system you can disable the horn simply by finding the marked fuse.

How can you replace a blown head gasket?

Remove the head, replace the gasket, reinstall the head.

  • I have been buying cars and vans that have blown head gaskets for myself at a reduced cost and I have had great success repairing them without disassembling the engine. Its very simple to use and is a permanent repair. It costs 20.00 and its added to the radiator. It mixes with antifreeze and does work if you follow the simple directions. My cousin has a garage and has been using this stuff. Its very hard to find and is not found in part store's if you want any email me kerisvery@aol.com
