Well I bought this firebird for 1200 not that many miles the guys said it needed a alternator long story short we almost got home it suddenly stopped I kept pushing the gas pedal but no power do we ghetto towed it to my place and I've a fuel line which was leaking the fuel filter spark plugs wires it ran better after I replaced the filter and line but now everytime I can get it on and running and I press the gas pedal it completely dies.

 

I see it's your first post, so welcome to TGO, but man you should considering re-doing your post to make it a bit more legible. Also, if you have a V6, it isn't a TPI. As for your issue, do you have an engine light on? If so, start by pulling whatever codes are stored. If you just changed the plugs and wires, I'd also go through and double check that you didn't miss-match any wires, and that they're all pushed on all the way. Does the car backfire sometimes when you try to give it gas? When it shuts off, does it start right back up? Does it idle well?

 

 

Check engine light? Assuming there is one, start with pulling the codes

 

Says ses but I did the paperclip method it just flashed code 12 the whole time I'm having someone come and test the fuel pressure and hookup a tool

Is the mil on but just no codes ?

 

Need to look at live data, but symptoms kinda line up with a CTS failure.

Won't really know till you pull it out.

Well I finnally pulled it out would you guys recommend changing just the fuel pump or the whole assembly itself? Anythoughts?

 

I'm squinting through the internet but I can't make out your fuel pump from here. Can you hold it up closer to your modem?

GD

 

Obviously that wouldn't work, are you dumb? The pump has to be uploaded to a Word document

 

I meant module not modem

 

Well I changed the pump and ....... Nothing now my fuel gauge doesn't work gonna have to go back tommorow and check it out again sounds better when it cranks but no luck

 

Yes it is just on no actually code just the flashing 12 sorry for the late responsethis car frustrates meso much but I love it

 

With the mil on and no other codes it’s sounds like the ecm is faulty.

 

Do you think this could a be a diy job or would I have to hire someone and how much has anyone ever done this?

 

Replacement of the ecm is easy.
disconnect the battery
remove the two screws that holds in the ecm holder
. The ecm case holder bracket is under the dash on the passengers side under the dash speaker.
disconnect the ecm plugs.
remove the access cover on the ecm and rock back the white and blue tabs to release the memcal.
the memcal needs to be swapped into the new ecm.
90-92 3.1l you will have a 1227730 ecm
just a guess this is causing the check engine light .
if you are in the states I have one for $65 shipped if interested send me a pm.
there is always eBay and RockAuto.com for replacement ecms.

 

 

Hey guys UPDATE I've had many good times with this car I've decided to fully restore it and wanted to replace the floorplans........ then I noticed that the rust is on the bottom of the door frame which kinda worries m.

 

Just get a non-rusty one. There's plenty out there. No sense messing with rust on a unibody. It will just come back.
