ex: 1995 Sunfire
When I see post of a sunfire, I see hate.
Is it a bad car? Do people think it's ugly? I like the look, I think it's another cute sporty car.
What do y'all think of the Sunfire?
My 05 with 118k. Cam package, exhaust, headers, intake, etc. She gets down for an old gal.
Found second hand.
Hi, I have a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire SE convertible with only about 70,000 mi on it. But due to health problems it hasn't been driven for months. It was started on a regular basis but suddenly one day the battery died. They tried charging the battery but it didn't work. Is it worth just replacing the battery. I did have some stalling issues when idling before this happenened. Not sure but I'll be able to drive it again.. not sure what to do with my car..
69 Firebird: Ok, I've really screwed myself, feel free to call me a dumbass, hopefully with some helpful advice. Locked my only findable set (a separate issue!)keys in the trunk. The trunk is full of golf clubs, golf push cart, sub woofer. The sound system is mounted to a piece of plywood that blocks access from the back seat. Had a locksmith out that thought he could pick the lock, he tried for 3 hours without success. Had the car towed home, removed the passenger side door lock cylinder, disassembled it and got the water codes and had a key made. That key opens the passenger door, and the untouched driver side door, the trunk lock is same key, but it won't open it! Presumably it was damaged in the attempt to pick it. So now I'm being forced to consider drilling out the trunk lock cylinder but I'm not entirely sure that helps me. Anyone have any advice?
Looking for a complete set up for my 91 with a 305. Headers back. Thinking mid length headers.
I’ve really only done headers on old Chrysler V8s and it’s always an issue with spark plugs with them.
Does anyone have set ups they’ve used that fit well?
Please let me know what you know, feels like I need to find a dyno to use somewhere to get specific data. Car in the photo is mine btw.
This just started 2 days again. All suspension is new, i jack up and looked at everything no play or anything broken. My power streeling pump doesn't make any noise and it has new fluid. Cars got 74,200 miles, now it doesn't do it all the time, like maybe once or twice a day.
Hello! Hope everyone is well!
I have a question I hope maybe someone can help with! I'm looking to replace the transmission cooler lines on my 2009.5 pontiac g6, 2.4 eco tec engine (automatic) but I cannot find any info on if it is a 4 speed or 6 speed. Just bought it second hand, so haven't highway driven it to know and I cannot for the life of me decode the glovebox sticker (lol!)
Attached picture of the glovebox sticker if it helps!
I appreciate any and all help !
Cheers
I take my 58 Pontiac Chieftain to local car shows and it doesn’t get much interest. I enjoy bringing it to cruise ins and small car shows, but everyone seems only to be interested in modded Dodges and Mustangs. I can’t figure it out. Let me know what you think needs to be changed.
107,000 for miles for $1,800, runs fantastic, a little rusty near the sunroof, but solid. Driving it convinced me the car would fall apart around the engine before it dies. And the power, my goodness. I stretched her legs and it felt like my back was against the seat of a plane before take off.
Anyway, I've never owned an American car. Any advice or aftermarket stereo and part recommendations are appreciated!
Last night was second guessing buying the firebird, and posted on here wondering if i made the worst decision of my life.
This morning i fixed a problem where the car would act like i had no battery, and wouldn't start, and the interior lights didn't work. Fixed that, now it starts every time.
Fixed the hatch latch with a Philips head and now it opens via key or button, and still locks!
Im totally in love with this car man!
Ever since I was 14 in 2005, the 2006 Black Pontiac Torrent with tan leather interior, sunroof, and all wheel drive has been my dream car. This is thanks to Survivor Guatemala. My favorite that season, Cindy, who was also from Florida, won it in a reward and I have been obsessed with it ever since.
I’ve still never owned one to this day, but before I die, I would love to own that car, even as a 2nd car to drive to the store.
Does anyone here have this exact car? I’d love to see pics of it, your stories, and who knows….maybe one day I’ll buy it off of you.
2006 pontiac GP 6 speed automatic (base)... drive finally went out otw to work last week (transmission) 216k miles, clean title, just got brakes & rotors replaced about 2 weeks ago. Ignition switch replace less than 2k miles ago and otherwise completely driveable... what do you all think i can realistically get? I've had her for 10 years, really sad this has happened.. and first car i've been in this position with. Engine runs great
Anybody have thought on what this could be? I don’t believe it sounded like that before
Background: car hasn’t been driven in at least 2 years. Oil was slightly below lower line so I added half a quart and now it’s slightly above top line. Engine is shaking a bit (maybe a mm back and forth). 24k miles.
Mods: cams, headers, some kind of exhaust, tune.
I plan to get an oil since it’s been like 5 years since the last one. And have them take a look but I wanted to get some opinions first
Is this a danger to drive?
Do anyone know how to fix this problem
Hey guys, you are my last hope of anyone I can talk to regarding Pontiacs since the forums got quiet.
To start this out, I am the unfortunate owner of a 1984 Pontiac Fiero Indy Pace car. I've already accepted that I will struggle to get this car together. I have been working for years already. I got fed up with barely having time to do anything to it and drug it off to a shop to see what they could find. It turns out that after sitting for nearly 19 years, brake proportioning valves can end up blocked. I didn't think about this. The mechanic didn't think about this. No one did. But here we are, with the car torn apart, and this is the last piece to the puzzle for me to at least drive it out of the shop and not blow through all stop signs.
I have found ONE site that listed a discontinued PN - 10036563. No one has this. I am struggling to find an actual picture so that way I know what I am looking at, and what I need to be looking for. If anyone could assist, has any knowledge on this, tips or advice, or if I'm looking to get a universal one at this point (or even need to tear it apart and clean it like I did a carb a few years ago, sigh). Dealerships suck and have not been any help on what I can do from here, but not a surprise.
