Pontiac Firebird Starter
Some of the important parts in the operation of the Pontiac Firebird involve the starter, which is a component geared towards starting the whole operation of the engine by converting electrical power from the battery into mechanical power. The ignition of this process takes place when the ignition key is turned and this causes the solenoid of the starter to engage the starter drive gear with the flywheel of the engine. The starter motor of the Pontiac Firebird is equipped with a gear reduction mechanism, through which when the armature engages the drive through a reduction gear it makes the starter more efficient. This layout is especially advantageous in dealing with the power output demands of the Firebird's engine. During the years minor changes were made with respect to the types of starters used in the Pontiac Firebird with notable differences being made between OE starters and high-performance starters. OE starters, in most cases, suffice or are suitable for engines that have undergone slight modifications, however fail to deliver in high compression rates including those used in performance enhanced Firebirds. Such conditions call for the use of starters for high compression and these are much more rigid than the normal types and are capable of withstanding the extra pressure which may cause the kickback or failure. In conclusion, getting the starter in Pontiac Firebird models involve a small starter that plays a key role in the ignition of the car's engine, this is done by applying use of a solenoid induction that is affiliated with the flywheel of the engine. In the case of starters, it is common to have different types of starters, meaning that those used in Firebird are well determinate to serve the standard or high performing engines of the cars and therefore maintains the ability of the Firebird to perform to the optimum level.

Pontiac Firebird Starter Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to troubleshoot a starter motor that does not turn at all when the switch is operated on Pontiac Firebird?A: If the starter motor does not turn at all when the switch is operated, check the shift lever (automatic transmission) or clutch pedal (manual transmission). Ensure the battery is charged and all cables are secure. If the motor spins but the engine is not cranked, the starter motor may need to be disassembled. If the solenoid clicks but the motor does not operate, there may be an issue with the solenoid contacts or the motor itself. If the solenoid plunger cannot be heard, the solenoid or circuit may be defective. To check the solenoid, connect a jumper lead between the battery(+) and the S terminal. If the starter motor works, the solenoid is fine. If not, remove the starter/solenoid assembly for testing and repair. If the starter motor cranks the engine slowly, check the battery, terminal connections, and engine condition. Use a voltmeter to check the starter motor terminal while actuating the ignition switch. A reading of 9 volts or more at normal cranking speed is normal. If the reading is lower and the cranking speed is slow, the solenoid contacts may be burned.
- Q: How to remove the Starter on Pontiac Firebird?A: 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.
