Pontiac Firebird

There are two filaments in the lamp. One for the tail light and a brighter one for the brake light. First thing I would do is pull out the bulb and check the filaments to be sure that they are both good. If the lamp appears to be good you can have someone hold the brake pedal down and check for voltage.

if it cranks but wont start it may be the coil if it doesnt crank check the battery , cables and wires then if no check the starter try squeezing some gas through were the injectors /carb shoot the gas if it starts its your fuel pump well what happend till it didnt start?

Yes the firebird dash from 93-2002 is a popular upgrade for the Fiero. It requires some mechanical and electrical skills and is not exactly plug and play. But it has been done dozens of times in the past decade. You can look on any Fiero forum for help on how to do it.

1993-1997 Firebirds for body and most mechanical parts, excluding specific motor components.

Faulty culster: See my post below, you can google this and find this is a problem for a lot of 04 Trailbazer owners, even me. Same problem. It started once the temp hit below freezing in my area for the first time this year also. My speedometer was reading a lot faster than I was going, for example it said 120mph when I was going about 10mph. Everyday is different with the wacky speedometer, one day it will read 0mph, the next it will work and so on. I bought it used and it has 83,000 miles on it.

I called and filed a complaint. EVERYONE MUST CALL CHEVROLET AND FILE A COMPLAINT. As per the Chevrolet Customer Service Desk, they must receive a set number of complaints for the same problem before they will issue a recall.

The number I called was (800) 222-1020 and filed a complaint. I also called 866-790-5700 and filed a complaint. Call both numbers!

Chevy is aware of this problem, and I even talked to my friend who works at GMC dealership and he said they get 5-10 GMC/Chevy's from 2003-2004 in to replace the speedometer. Everyone just needs to call and file complaints.

im not sure but considering its an older model tey have to search for one so it might be a little pricey! i have a 99 Cavalier and i just bought a $120 starter and it took them days to find one!

The 3800 engine coil packs will fire on #3 and #6 Cyl. at the same time as #2 & 5 and #1 & #4 Cyl. Because it helps burn off fuel not burned after the cyl. fires for emissions. If you get a computer code for missfire on cyl.#1, it can be for cyl. #1 or cyl.#4 check so check your sparks plugs and plugs wires for #1 & #4 Cyl. The 3800 computer will only give you only 3 missfire codes. For cyl. #1, #2 or#3. The ele. circurit needs to go from #1 on the coil pack ,plug wire #1, spark plug#1,engine,from plug#4 to plug wire #4, to coil pack 4 to make a complete circurit. Next to look at is the module under the coil packs.

It's not so much about what ratio you are installing, it's more about the checking distance (cd) marked on the pinion. Install the new pinion with the right shims to put it in the same location as the original, then use side shims with the carrier to achieve the correct backlash. Sometimes you can reuse the original shims, sometimes you need different ones.

disconnnect the battery (disarm the delco 2 lock first if you have it) then jack up the fornt end. the starter is on the driver side. remove the wires then there are just 2 bolts to remove then just slide it forward to clear the transmission bellhousing and pull it out

You need to rewire the entire car with a harness from a digital car. You have to remove the dash all the way to the firewall and replace with the digi dash and bezel. You'll need door latches from a digital car and the heater box needs to be from a digi, also. The heater control switch has to be changed to one from a digital car. It is a lot more than just pulling an analog cluster out and putting in a digital cluster. It's probably best to just get a digi car and restore it if you don't want a big project. Hope that helps!

Open the dash (or wherever the switch is mounted, I think it's the dash on firebirds) by taking out the screws and go to where the switch. Being very careful not to touch any other wires, there should be either three or four wires going in (more if the blinkers go to this control as many late model cars do) and try touching the black wire to the others, one combination should switch the light level. Be careful not to touch any of the metal below the dash cover, many GM cars have the hot wire switched in the dash controls, and this makes it easy to fry the electronics. You should be safe if you only short in that one switch, though.

You don't clean them...you buy a new one.

Check the 95 Firebirds crank position sensor first. If the sensor is bad then the injectors won't turn on and there will be no spark.

From what I found at Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Firebird)

"Curb weights rose dramatically in the 1973 model year due to the implementation of 5 MPH telescoping bumpers and various other crash and safety related structural enhancements; SD455 Trans Ams tipped the scale at a whopping 3,850 pounds curb."
