Thanks in advance for any helpful replies. Kindly explain the technique and sensor location to replace the Mass Air Flow Sensor and the MAP Sensor on the 1997 Firebird, 3.8L, V6, automatic, including any special tools. Also direct me to service manuals, web sites or links showing how to replace MAF and MAP.
Loss of power and shaking under acceleration made me think it was the transmission, but the diagnosis at Cottman Transmission (which they do for free by the way) resulted in codes P0101, P0102, P0103, P0104 and P0105. Then also codes P0106, P0107, P0108 and P0109. Pictures are worth a thousand words so any sketches or manual drawings are appreciated. You can also send email to: cappi45@bellsouth.net
THANKS AGAIN.
