- welcome to the forum. no need to apologize for your English - better than some. the more time you spend here, the more you'll see that many of us have not mastered the language. if you have a chance, post a couple pics of your 89. again, welcome!

Well!!! Hello again! Even i am not quite good about english.... Morover.... No so good in internet skills.... Hahahaa, i will try to show you some pics of my verte.

Its a long and little sad history.... This car was one of my favourite when i was child.... I remember the white of "faceman" in the "A team" and i was a fan of the "knight rider" (i know its a firebird) hehe

I save some money and bought one that the seller told was in very good condition, i must to admit that i dont know anything about engines and cars....

After a couple of weeks i felt that the car didn't goes well... I went to the garage and it was necesary a new transmisión.... "My goodness!!! "

Well after that.... I had to change the front suspension the distribuitor and rotor, the gas press bomb, and recently i have change the mass aire flow

Cause i have the "service engine soon" what a hell!! And it is the code 36

Know i am waiting for some pieces from "rockauto" and i hope that finally it goes fine

I have a problem know that.....the car goes ok....and if i press slowly the acelerator....ok...everything goes nice, but if i push hard the acelerator to the floor......it begins to run...annnnd....it cut....and doesnt go properly.....i will put you a link of the video.....if you have any advice i will apreciate you






This is the video link.... Of my problem

https://youtu.be/JwAif6vdm_0


The mecanic in spain its no so good, *there are not specialiced workers and if you go to a "comun" garage.... They tell that they dont know anything of this kind of cars... So difficult.... Electrical problems.... And if you need a piece you have to order to eeuu... More problems taxes... Etx

Mine its automatic 4+3, and know rebuilt transmision.....*

I will try with the new press gas regulator, *and two new PCV valves...... *

*
