How do you remove the shifter knob off of a 1996 Saturn SL1 automatic transmission?
on my SL2 there is a clip on the side closest to the heater controls toward the bottom of the knob you either need to push it in or pull it out im pretty sure its like a horseshoe clip you pull out
The thermostat you installed was either bad or is installed upside down. Possibly a clogged heater core. Possibly the system needs bleeding.
AnswerCould be your control cable is broken. Not familiar with your particular model but look for a cable on or near the firewall near the heater core. You may be able to move it by hand and get the haet you need. AnswerRemove DEX coolant the manufacturer recommends. DEX clogs the heater core. Put regular coolant in it then drive, drive, drive. It will break loose. Mine took nearly 4 months to get the sludge out of the radiator even after flush. But it worked. Manufacturer will never comment about that DEX crap.I have a 98 and I had the same problem..it was my heater core, they arent hard to replace and I dont think they are that expensive
What is the symbol on a Pontiac firebird called?
It's never had an official "name", many just call it the "bird" -in the late 70s/early 80s due to its immense hood decal it was sometimes referred to as the "screaming chicken", or sometimes "puking chicken"
How reliable is a 96 firebird with 40000 miles?
vary good if car is in good shape and runs good i would say in vary great shape it would be 5000
Can you put a 700R4 in place of a 400 turbo?
Keep in mind that you have to have the correct bolt pattern 700-R4. A Chevy trans will not bolt up to a B.O.P. engine. I believe there were some universal 700-R4 trans made. If not, there are companies that make adapter plates for this. You will also need a TH350 cross member.....unless you are dealing with an older A body that has multiple mounting locations for the cross member. One last thing to consider is the lock up torque converter of the 700-R4. There are also companies that offer the controller for this swap.
What antifreeze do you use 1995 Pontiac firebird 3.4 L?
1 1/2 Gallon(s) of Full Strength Anti-Freeze. Any brand works fine.
What happened to the Pontiac Firebirds and when will Pontiac continue making the Firebird?
What happened to Firebirds is that they were outsold by Ford Mustangs and didn't give Pontiac a big enough market share in the segment. In other words, the bean-counters killed it. It will come back when someone comes up with a concept that they can convince Pontiac management will make money. In the mean time, check out the GTO, or the soon to be introduced Solstice to get your Pontiac "excitement" fix. Darkfriend adds:
They quit making them in 2002, along with the ever popular Camaro. The Camaro has been reintroduced in 2010 and has some characteristics of both Camaro and Firebird. The Firebird will likely never make a comeback.
***I AM NO MECHANIC***, but I am the owner of a 1998 Pontiac Firebird myself, and this is what I might speculate: It sounds like a possible dead battery which- if not caught/determined quickly enough -may have inadvertently killed the alternator. That or the third possibility is a dead starter motor (about $400 shop repair).
WHAT I MIGHT SUGGEST/THE CHEAPEST THING TO TRY: Cleaning off the battery terminals with a brush. Disconnect the negative & positive cables, looking for white powdery corrosion. Sometimes corrosion will keep the battery from kick starting the engine.
Where can you find the tune up specifications for a 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 8 cylinder engine?
Call Autozone, Advance Auto, Or Napa. They can order a manual for you. A Haynes manual, or a Chilton. They usually run Under $20
Does engine have to be dropped to replace oil pan gasket on a 1994 Firebird?
Not at all, simply remove the hex nuts holding the oil pan to the engine (drain oil beforehand obviously), and after removing the nuts, you're good to go. Just scrap the old gasket off the engine block and oil pan, place the new one on, allow sealer to cure and reinstall the pan.
How low does the oil have to be before the 'low oil' light comes on in a 96 firebird?
It has to be about 2 qts. low for the light to come on.
The saying used to be " there is no replacement for displacement" meaning the best way to make power was a bigger cubic inch block. This is now changing with the introduction of single and dual turbo-charged engines. It is now possible to make big power with a six cylinder engine. So, to try and answer your question, It depends on your usage for the vehicle... a mini van? Six works great. A '68 Firebird or performance (muscle) car... go eight. A late model street car... If it came with a six, you are going to have a hard time at the inspection/emissions station if you install a 8 where a six is supposed to be.

V8 IS A BETTER PULL AND NICE BUT IF YOUR LOOKING TO BUY FOR A LESS GAS FOR EXAMPLE IF YOUR BUYING V8 4.7 AND A V6 OF 4.0 ITS ALMOST NO DIFFERENCE ON MILES PER GALLON IF THEY ARE SAME PRICE ITS V8,WHAT I MEAN IS THE LITER IS THE KEY FOR SAVING GAS.BUT IF NOT WORRY ABOUT GAS V8.
Vss refers to negative supply voltage in electronics. They are mostly used in FETS and MOSFETs in common circuit configurations.
The circuit requires the hi/lo switch. You'll need to get a replacement switch for everything to complete the headlamp circuitry.

How do you replace a heater core in a 1986 Pontiac Firebird?
I had to replace my heater core on a 1991 GTA. It took me about 6 hours, and then some. You have to remove the entire dash cover, drop the steering colum (sp). etc.
It is located on the passenger side firewall. It is pretty easy to replace, it is just hard to get to it!
Take your time, and just keep removing the dash until you reach it. You will probably bust a knuckle or two, but it can be done. Good luck.
