Will a 350 trans without a electrical plug interchange with a 350 trans with out a electrical plug?
sure, it's the same thing.
To get a 400 Pontiac Motor in 1979, you had to also get the 4 speed. Pontiac last manufactured 400 motors in 1978 but saved some from 1978 for use in the 1979 model. Those motors were used in the 1979 4 speed cars only. 1979 Automatics had the Oldsmobile 403. You could also get a turbo version too. All of which could come with auto trans. I worked on many of these at the Pontiac dealer.
How do i remove catalytic converter on 1994 Pontiac Trans AM?
The 1993 and 1994 models require you unbolt the large Y pipe at the exhaust manifolds, three bolts on each one. I believe they 14 or 15 mm nuts. Then unbolt the cat from the rear exhaust tube and remove the hanger that supports the cat. You will wind up with a cat and attached (welded together) Y pipe.
Where is the Fuel pump relay in a 1993 Pontiac Firebird trans am?
under the left foot rest bracket on the driver side under the dash
Well, you listed several of the parts that could cause this problem. The other part that could cause this is the Power Train Control (PTC) module. The PTC is the module that takes the temperature input from the coolant temperature sensor and turns on the fans via the fan relay when the temperature is high enough.
Where is the ignition module located on a 1987 Pontiac trans am?
Under the cap, inside the distributor, it is easy to change with the distributor off the car, a pain to get to with it on the car.
What is the stereo wiring codes on a 96 Pontiac trans am?

For the front speakers, the left front speaker wire (+) is tan, the left front speaker wire (-) is gray, the right front speaker wire (+) is light green, and the right front speaker wire (-) is dark green. For the rear speakers, the left rear speaker wire (+) is brown, the left rear speaker wire (-) is yellow, the right rear speaker wire (+) is dark blue, and the right rear speaker wire (-) is light blue.
How do you remove the center console from a 1999 trans am?
On the top of the dash there is the little strip. Mine hase two little speakers on each side. You can just lift up on the strip its just held down with some clips. under there are some bolts that hold down the top part of the dash. so that's about as far as I went. All I had to do was take out the radio to install some speakes and an amp. I installed a hi/low adapter for the amp. So there is a little screw in the little box. You remove that screw pop out the little tray. then you can pull out the rest of the trim around the radio. snaps hold that in as well. there are 4 screws that hold the radio in. remove those and then there you go. you can access the radio harness from there. now this was tha hrd part for me I had to go to a local sterio store to get a conversion after market harness to match up the the original one in the jeep. after matching the harnes up the color code is like this:
Blue/White- Rear Right +Blue/Orange- Rear Right -
Blue/Grey-Rear Left -Brown/Yellow-Rear Left +
Purple (solid)-Front Right +Blue/Red- Front Right -
Brown/Red Front Left -Green (solid) +
The ones above are clustered together one one side. There is some blank spaces between the left and right bunches.
Orange-IlluminationGreen-Power Ant.Red/Orange- 12 volt PowerPink(there is 2 of them doesnt mater which one)- Memory
Hope this help. It took me all day to get all this done to my jeep
How do you install window motor in a 2000 firebird?
Hi
I just did mine today and it took longer than expected.
I used this photo guide from www.FirebirdNation.com, but...
http://www.firebirdnation.com/pdf/windowreplacement.pdf
http://www.firebirdnation.com/pdf/windowreplacement2.pdf
below is my experiences with it-sometimes they aren't clear so here goes:
Know that your hands will likely be scratched up and greasy, and this is not a run of the mill fix.
- The problem with these motors I believe, is that there is some sort of thermal fuse component that over time, causes the motor to become unresponsive. I heard on a forum that they only last about 5 years, but mine is a 94 and just gave out this year.
- I'm assuming that 2000 is just like 1994 in the sense that they are both 4th gen, and the door panels look the same as well.
- You will first need to purchase a replacement motor from somewhere.
- Start with the window completely up.
- Disconnect the car battery
- Take off your door panel, do not be overly forceful, this is easy.
(see www.firebirdnation.com/pdf/doorpanel.pdf if you need help)
- Tape/clamp your window so there is minimal vertical movement.
- Take off your midrange speaker for a lot of extra room to work.
- Take off plastic water seal (Will put back on again too)
- Unplug your motor assembly by reaching unto the speaker cavity hole. I had to feel it, there is a clip that once pushed, is easy to come out.
- You will need to punch out and then drill out the rivets holding in your window motor/regulator assembly in the door cavity. Do not make a bigger hole than necessary, there should be 4.
- Take the whole motor/regulator assembly out via the cavity near the back latch of the door. There are 3 wheels that need to come out one at a time. They are guided on two long tracks. You may also need to do some disassembly with a 10 mm socket to some parts to be able to slide the window motor/regulator assembly all the way out. I had to take off the vertical track guide near the latch of the door. Regardless, the assembly must come out of the door.
- Once out, you need to drill a safety hole in the large arc-gear and the center panel thingy, for the purpose of putting a decent sized bolt in there. This is to prevent the circular spring from taking your arm off once you take off the motor part. The motor's nine teeth prevent the arc-gear from moving.
- You will need to punch out and drill out the rivets holding the window motor in place. Do this after you have installed the safety bolt as discussed. Greasy, huh?
- Now take your new window motor and re-rivet it inplace of the old one. (I had to drill yet a bit out to get my rivets to fit. These are different sized rivets than what holds it in the door! Riveter-grip-guns are about 25-30 dollars, and a box of rivets are about 5 dollars. I suggest seeing the correct size you need before buying a box).
- Once the three rivets are in place, you may disassemble your safety bolt. The tension of the spring may have shifted your safety holes a bit from where you originally drilled them. If you don't realign them you won't be able to line up the rivet holes back to the door like they were originally, and it's a pain. What you can do is reconnect your battery and window switch, as well as the connector to your new window motor, and adjust it right there before you put it back in the door. This will test your new motor right before your eyes. Try the best you can to line up your safety holes as they were, with your window button. Once they are aligned as before you may carefully put the assembly back into place, which is going to be a minor pain. Now would be a great time to grease your window tracks by the way.
- Your window may have settled during your operation. A second person is helpful in holding up the window, as the tracks will shift with it. This is all crucial in lining up the rivet holes in the door, so that you can re-rivet them. It is not really feasible to use bolts here, because only one side is accessible.
- Once your rivets are in place, start the reconstruction process. Don't forget to connect your window motor electrically.
- Hope this helps, and good luck!

How do you take an air conditioning unit off an 1987 trans am?
If your looking for more power, just take the belt off the AC compressor, you can go ahead and remove it if you want to take off the extra weight along with the condensor. I'm not sure what your looking for as far as taking it off. There is no way to completely remove all signs it ever had air conditioning without some serious work.
What is the maximum horsepower potential of a 1978 6.6L trans am?
Potential??? Almost unlimited depending on how much you want to spend. If you want a little clearer answer, make your question a little more clearer. How much do you want to spend?? What do you want to do with it??
How many temperature sensors are on a 2002 trans am?
If it is a 6cyl 1. if it is a v8 not sure if there is more than on the block, but there is one on the throttle body that has a small line going form the throttle body to the radiator. It keeps some one that can't read gauges from frying the motor, it also puts the motor at a idle when the car overheats.
Can you put ls2 heads and cam on ls1?
I think LS2 engines are bigger (6.0 Liter versus a 5.7 liter LS1). I would say its possible but maybe overkill.
