our cars have some ignition issues too lol surprised we're not on this list...
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/gm-rec...183406990.html
I would also go out on a limb without even looking at it and assume that the grand prix's and grand am's had the same ignition "cylinder and wires" as a trans am or firebird.......................................... ........
I had a 96 Grand Am, and the ignition is almost exactly the same. The same problem happened to both it and my WS6.....
yep...I think somebody dropped the ball on this one lol 2 of my Fbody's have had ignition problems in one form or another...Quote:

im guessing you are referring to the tilt that goes from 3 to 9? Every fbody I have ever owned has that problem...I can grab the wheel in the lower left corner and pull down and the wheel will go down at an angle to the left...I have never seen a fix for it.Quote:

Pull the wheel off and tighten the screws if you're talking about the tilt wheel flopping
Mine was floppy too, did this^^
did tightening the bolts help at all? Curious before I pull mine apart and try it lolQuote:

Mine were the star heads inside the column, it's the third or fourth Fbody I've had that I've had to do this...

Post #8 has a decent write up of it as well
Wow.. Looks like a lot of work to get to a few screws lol
^^^It was well worth it.
The Grand Ams and Prixs in question had dash mounted ignitions. So no they do notQuote:

I might have been wrong on the assumption that it was the same part but I know for a fact Fbody's have ignition issues lol no doubt about that one...Quote:

There is quite a list of things that GM screwed up on with the F-Body. Sail panel bubbling. The longer you think about it, the more you come up with. Making the Camaro look like a catfish. Making the Camaro at all..............
I think you got them all lol might be missing one or two that I can't think of, but that looks like a solid list.Quote:

A Trans Am is a Firebird. Why do so many talk as if they're two different cars? Firebird, Firebird Formula, Firebird Trans Am. It's a trim option for a Firebird.
I've never had any of those issues with my car, yet.Quote:

Just making my jab. You know we all have the same cars. What I tell people if they are looking for a car. Get a 98-02 camaro. Same powertrain. Less problems.
So, do you know what "Famous Movie" my quote was from (without Googling it)?Quote:
