Pontiac Trans Am

Check in the harness down at the starter

they said from the factory it has 275, but it was more like 315 to 330 because they still wanted the vettes to be they king of horse power they only difference from the trans am and the corvette is a two bolt and a four bolt main witch does inter fear with horsepower

I got an '02 WS6. Simple enough answer, pop up the lights either manually in the engine bay (covered by a rubber cap behind the light housing) or just turn the switch to on, then back so the lights stay popped up but not on. Next, remove the plastic black bezel that surrounds the lights. Should be 3 screws, one to the left, right, and center top. Once those are unscrewed, just pull the plastic off and you'll see the screws holding the headlight. You literally just unscrew and pull off, after unplugging it obviously. The plug is easily seen in the back. Then put the new headlight in, and screw it all back.

*Note* Just as a reminder, you don't replace bulbs in these cars, just the whole headlight. For good ones it's only about 20$ so, certainly not like some other cars. See sources and related links below for bulb information.

The window motor is attached to the window regulator by screws. After removing the door trim you must detach the regulator from the door by drilling-out four rivits. Then remove the screws from the old motor and install the new motor. Re-attach the regulator with bolts and put the trim back on the door.

You can do whatever you have the money, time, patience and knowledge to do. I wouldn't however take the time to mess with a stock engine from that year, which most were a 4.9 and crap with only about 140 hps stock. I'd personally do what I'm doing with my 81, putting a new ls vette motor in it.

First, start off by making sure your cooling system is in good order. Water pump and radiator.....maybe a good flushing. Drop in a 180 degree thermostat...the ECM will operate ok at that temp, but don't go any lower without a performance chip. One thing most people forget about, ( I did before I knew any better) is the fan clutch. These do wear out. Get a good thermal and rpm sensitive one. My car would slowly overheat on hot days running down the highway. After putting in a new fan clutch that ended. Also, with the lack of an actual grill, the air dam mounted at the bottom of the core support is extremely important. This is what helps direct more air into the radiator. Make sure it's in good shape.....a lot of them are missing from being ripped off by parking blocks. You might want to blow out the radiator and A/C condenser fins. Could be clogged with years of dirt and debris. Is the car overheating or just running hotter than you'd like? If it's overheating and fairly rapidly you could have a blown head gasket.

Engine "knock" is preignition or detonation of the air-fuel mixture before the piston is in power stroke position. It is usually caused by a lean fuel mix. So to check for preignition, check your plugs for signs of lean running.

I had the same problem. First check to make sure your not having any grounding problems. Of course, check the bulbs themselves. If this has not fixed it, go under your dash, and take off the panel near the pedals. There are two piston type devices attached to the break pedal. The lower one activates your back breaks, top does the middle one. Your best bet is to take the lower one and loosen, or tighten it, depending on your specific problem. It should take a few tries, but that should fix the lighting problem.

Hope that helped man, btw, sexy car ;) Just installed K&N Cold Air Intake on my 94 Coup. She's a beaut with the Magniflow. Cheers m8.

From the factory, Pontiac engines do not have adjustable valves. You simple torque them down to 20-25 foot pounds.

You need to get a balancer puller to get it off, it's on splines and has to be pulled off the splines.

Most states allow front turn signals to be white or amber and rear turn signals to be amber or red. Technically, no other color is acceptable and an officer may give you a ticket and/or impound or disable the vehicle... but that probably won't happen if the color isn't too far from the approved colors.

Around 3500-3600 lbs

Depending on the engine, if your car has the v-8, the fuel pressure is regulated by the fuel pump output. Normal pressure would be 6-9 psi at the carb inlet.

any Buick, olds or Pontiac turbo 350, turbo 400 or any overdrive tranny should bolt up to your engine.

Go to 78TA.com & use search. Or ask someone on the forum, Good people.

It is a combination turn and brake light, with a double contact on the bottom of the bulb. Go to a Ford dealer and take the bulb out and go in and ask for a new one, and get a spare bulb for next time, too. Install the new bulb and replace the lenses carefully, as the plastic can be broken if you tighten the screws too much. Make sure you get the waterprofing gasket in properly, or the tail light assembly will fill with water when you wash the truck next.

turn the key on, wait for all lights to come on and pump the gass pedal 3 times in a row, then turn key off.. then start vehicle and it should be cleared.

This is incorrect.

305 horsepower or 325 with Ram Air.

make sure the cooling system is full and if it still won't go out you need to replace the coolant sensor.

Depends on engine, transmission, gearing, etc.

360 hp.

all depends on the condition but they are bottom dollar right now.
