  • FS: 1996 Firebird

    Car has an intermittent misfire!

    I am posting this to see if there is any interest in the firebird I have been working on for the last month or so. It has high miles (192K) but is very clean and was clearly given a lot of care by somebody before me. Upon getting it back on the road this past week the car ran and drove great. I'm not sure why it started to misfire all of the sudden but I am eager to move on to other projects. If Im taking a loss over something simple, I don't mind. I am confident it would be a reliable car with the misfire fixed. It also has a very nice leather interior with power everything and keyless.

    The body is a good "10 footer", it could use paint on the passenger quarter panel and a front fender. There is also some limited rust on the undercarriage but nothing visible.

    Just about everything works on the car with the exception of AC and the passenger window motor needs replaced. It will also need the coolant changed, only because I have been flushing it with water. (have a gallon of new coolant i can include). Could be a great driver for someone with the rising gas prices. Have receipts for the parts ive replaced. Title free and clear.


    Recently Replaced:
    • Fuel Pump (low mile used)
    • Felpro Perma-dry Intake manifold gaskets (upper and lower), bolts torqued to spec
    • thermostat
    • spark plugs (autolite platinum)
    • spark plug wires (autolite with lifetime warranty)
    • idler pulley
    • accessory belt
    • heater core hoses (low mile used)
    • oil/filter
    • Duralast Battery
    • tires all around


    Upgrades:
    • Trans Am rear hatch
    • LS1 aluminum drive shaft
    • 3"/2.5" dual outlet catback (V-Force)
    • Low-Speed radiator fan switch in console



    Make Offer!!!

    (for a ballpark idea of price ... easily less than $2000)

                          No, the tech II wasnt showing any misfires at all, despite it clearly having a misfire.
