First 3rd gen and TBI

Hello folks, Ive ghosted these forums over the years, never really paying attention to too much. Ive always wanted a third gen bird and I finally had the means to pull the trigger on one!

found a 1992 Firebird with a TBI 5 speed. Looks to be all stock. Purchased with 150k on the clock. Good ac drives well just needs some tlc and stuff. I look forward to getting some tips from some of the veterans on the board. My goals are to just make her purr and enjoy her.

Welcome aboard split_grill.

My first new car was an RS Camaro with L03 and a 5 speed. I really enjoyed that car.

That's a great looking car. Congratulations on your purchase.

Re: First 3rd gen and TBI

Hello split grill, looks like a nice ride. My RS is a Lo3 w/700r4 auto trans. It runs strong for a 5L, and I can swauk in 2nd. I am up to 170000, and it runs clean, and strong as if it had low mileage.

Nice! I am a bit weary about having an LO3 as ive never owned a carbonated motor before. My experience is with the 4th gens 3.4 and LS1's .

Re: First 3rd gen and TBI

It's not carbonated(sic), it's a throttle bodied fuel injection system. Actually
fairly simple. Easier than a carb IMHO
