How to remove the Starter on Pontiac Firebird?

To disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal, first disable the anti-theft feature if your model has a Delco Loe II audio system. Then, raise the vehicle and secure it on jackstands. Remove the brackets supporting the starter and the two starter motor to engine bolts. Allow the starter to drop down enough to remove the nuts attaching the wires to the starter solenoid and battery cable, supporting the starter while removing the wires. Separate the starter from the engine and reinstall any removed shims during the installation process.

How to diagnose starter problems on Pontiac Fiero?

Ensure that the battery is fully charged before diagnosing starter problems. In case the switch is operated and the starter does not turn, make sure the shift lever is in Neutral or Park (automatic transmission) or that you depress the clutch pedal (manual transmission). Check that your battery is charged and all cables are secure. This could mean a slipping overrunning clutch in the starter, which can call for removal and disassembly of the starter. It could be with your battery, main solenoid contacts or even the starter itself if solenoid clicks but there is no operation on the starter. It may be defective if you can't hear solenoid plunger when switch is actuated, this could be due to defective solenoid or solenoid circuit. Attach a jumper lead between (+) terminal of battery and S terminal on solenoid to test solenoid condition. If starter works, then there's nothing wrong with it; instead; problem lies either in wiring, neutral start switch or ignition switch. If still no operation take out the starter/solenoid assembly for further testing and repair. Make sure your battery is charged and all terminal connections are tight if Starter cranks engine slowly at low speed. Slow starting may result from partial seizure of engine or presence of oil with wrong viscosity in it. Allow the engine to reach its normal operating temperature before testing the starter, then disconnect coil wire from distributor cap and ground it on engine block after which take voltmeter readings as follows: Connect positive lead of volt meter to S terminal on solenoid and negative one to ground; have someone turn ignition switch on while you keep an eye out for any change in voltage readings on voltmeter; do not forget that 9-volts or more reading means faulty Starter provided normal cranking speed persists while less than 9-volts reading suggests slow cranking speed caused by burned solenoid contacts.

Pontiac Starter gets the engine started quickly, and the drivers are getting power as soon as they turn the key. Pontiac built its reputation upon the platform of broad-track assurance, muscular design, and back road-begging steering. The drivers were fond of cabin gauges that were tilted their way, quick and responsive throttle response, and the appearance of each and every model that was ready to run even when it was not in motion. Pontiac maintained the enthusiasm by integrating reasonable prices with hints taken off racing such as hood scoops, rear spoilers, and bright graphics. Owners belonged to an impatient tribe since Pontiac never ceased in pursuit of louder exhausting notes and handles. The badge developed to represent fun at the weekend without the pocketbook draining cost of fancy metal. Children were stuck to the walls of bedrooms with posters about Trans Ams and GTOs, and dreamed of the smoke of burnout and screaming V8s. Starter converts battery current to rapid crankshaft rotation firing a small electric motor into a pinion controlled by a solenoid. This pinion enters the teeth of the flywheel, then rotates the engine beyond compression, and then pulls back the moment the ignition assumes control. There are many different Starter designs, but the typically applied one is the type of gear-reduction that produces more torque at low revolutions, allowing the big-displacement blocks to wake without a kickback or stall. A basic circuit with ignition switch and safety switch closes the solenoid to the Starter being operated with the driver making actual forward motion.
