Pontiac Sunbird

On some cars the bulbs screw in from the rear and you have to take the light assy off to get to it.

All freeze plugs for engines are below the spark plug side of the engine. They are small round plugs that will pop out if engine freezes in the winter time. This will cause water leaks if they go bad anytime.

The water pumps are behind the timing belt on the lower portion of the block (I assume we're talking about the 4 cylinder engines), and run off the timing belt (meaning that you have to either be VERY careful with the timing or retime the whole thing when you're done). I've done a few of them and I would *really* recommend taking it to a mechanic - it's a royal pain in the butt to do yourself and, frankly, whatever you do for work you're probably better off making enough money doing that to pay the mechanic rather than spending hours and hours and hours yourself and risking ending up with your timing out.

Despite how much of a hassle it is, it doesn't take an experienced mechanic very long to do it (and the more or less 'official' job-time-estimate manuals reflect this, so shop around if you get a ridiculously high quote); I believe it's only rated at a few hours.

If you DO decide to do it, get a shop manual (ie: Haynes of Chilton). You'll need it. Good luck either way!

most likely one of your two coils are bad

yes the sunbird is front wheel drive

fan relay RELAY On your 1994 PONTIAC SUNBIRD, the RELAY is: UNDER HOOD, DRIVER SIDE, FRONT ENGINE AREA, REAR SIDE OF BATTERY, MOUNTED ON FENDERWELL blower relay RELAY On your 1994 PONTIAC SUNBIRD, the RELAY is: UNDER HOOD, DRIVER SIDE, FRONT ENGINE AREA, REAR SIDE OF BATTERY, MOUNTED ON FENDERWELL good luck

I'd first suggest checking to make sure that no fuses or relays have popped, especially if the car's battery was not disconnected when the bulb was replaced.

Some were equipped with a cable operated release. The handle will be next to the driver seat between the seat and the door. Very few Cavalier/Sunbirds were equipped with a power trunk lock. I did find one in a '94 once.....It's currently on my '92.

There are several relays. ABS relay is mounted to the firewall driver side. Radiator fan relay is mounted on the inner fender by the battery. There are also 3 mounted on the passenger side on the inner fender back by the windshield.

Near the top of the belt there is a belt tensioner; it has a pulley attached to it. It is spring loaded and there is a provision to attach a breaker bar to force back the spring; once you do, it is easy to remove the serpentine belt.

REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR ON THIS MODEL IS VERY EASY. TO START DISCONNECT THE BATTERY COMPLETLY. NEXT, REMOVE THE DRIVE BELT SIMPLY BY PRESSING DOWN ON THE TENSIONER. THERE ARE 3 NUTS AND 1 BOLT HOLDING THE ALTERNATOR DOWN. 2 NUTS BOLTING IT DOWN TO THE HEAD BOLTS, 1 NUT BOLTING IT DOWN TO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, AND 1 BOLT CONNECTING IT TO THE POWER STEARING BRACKET. TAKE ALL 4 OUT. REMOVE THE 2 WIRES FROM THE ALTERNATOR. DONT LET THE POWER TOUCH METAL OR (*SPARKS*). NEXT TASK IS TO REMOVE ANY BRACKETRY FROM OLD ALTERNATOR. AFTER PURCHASING A NEW ALTERNATOR (WHICH I WOULD SUGGEST) BOLT BACK ON THE BRACKETRY THAT YOU TOOK OFF OF THE OLD ONE. THERE WILL BE A PIVOT BOLT ON THE ALTERNATOR THAT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO GET OFF. WHEN YOU PUT THIS BOLT BACK INTO THE NEW ALTERNATOR LEAVE IT LOOSE AS THIS WILL BE A WAY OF ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF ALTERNATOR. PUT ALTERNATOR BACK IN AS IT WAS TAKEN OUT. CONNECT THE 2 WIRES BACK IN. ADJUST AS NEED (WITH THE PIVOT BOLT). PUT ALL NUTS AND BOLTS BACK IN. PUT DRIVE BELT BACK ON ROUTING IT PROPERLY. MAKE SURE IT IS NICE AND SNUG. PUT BATTERY BACK IN AND START HER UP! GOOD LUCK.

If an engine has compression, ignition and fuel, it will run. Find out which isn't there and you've solved the mystery. If you're certain about the timing being right and a good, hot spark, check for fuel pressure. The fuel pump might not be working. Usually compression gives you other symptoms, but if the timing belt/chain has slipped you might have poor compression. If you have no fuel pressure, it could be the pump, a sensor, the filter or a relay or fuse. Of course there are also many other possibilitie, so just enhance your sleuthing skills and good luck.

Bad Ignition (Spark Plug) Wires.

Bad Coil(s).

Bad ECM or ECU.

Incorrect Spark Plugs.

Ground Wire(s) missing or loose.

Alternator fault.

Bad Battery.

Where the roof meets the top of the front windsheild, there should be a lever on each side. Pull the levers to unlock the roof from the front window. Then down to the lower right of your steeringwheel, there should be a switch to operate it. If that does not work then their are other issues with motor or wireing. It can also be manually done. If there is no power, unlock the roof from the window and go in your trunk, there is a motor for the roof with tubes running in and out of it. disconnect those tubes, but make sure they are sitting in a container as fluid will pour out if you dont.

I just had my head replaced and cracked my thermo housing when trying to find the leak prior to. The dealer wanted $88.00 for the thermo housing, it is a dealer only part. Thermostat is only about $10.00.

I'm guessing that you mean the CV joints. (CV for constant velocity) It's not a gigantic job, but you will want to pick up a Chilton or Haynes manual to see the photos and to read the directions. It's really too complicated to just write down here :( FriPilot

It will be under the dash on the driver side. It is clipped in just to the right of the steering column.

About 14.5 gallons

on the side of the engine block on the driver side. screws in. has 3 wires coming out of the connector running to the fan.

Pontiac Sunbird was created in 1975.

The 1994 Pontiac Sunbird 3.1 liter engine windshield washer pump can be found on the firewall in the engine compartment. The windshield washer pump will be on the drivers side firewall.

1992, v6, pont. sunbird, quit running going down road, everything is still working and okay but won't fire up

Possible timing belt jump?? Sorry, Mark

Changing a starter in a 1985 Pontiac Sunbird is not very difficult. The car will first need to be jacked up. After the car is jacked up, locate the starter. The wires will need to be taken off the starter and labeled so they can be reattached to the new starter. The starter is then taken down by using a ratchet to take of the bolts. After the starter is taken off, the new one can be put on.

It is in the fuel tank.
