1998 Pontiac Sunfire - Page 3 Questions & Answers
Brakes 1996 sunfire
its normal it is just the road is wet so less traction on the tire so slips and when water gets into rotors it tend to slip not like when it dry.
Why wont my 1998 sunfire start?
-There are many things cause that:
-Low fuel pressure, Weak spark, Weak crank/Cam sensor signal.
Blow head gasket.
Good Luck

I put a new battery in and the radio stop working
is it asking for a LOC code... gm used a system with a theft deterrent built in so when you loose power you have to reenter the 4 digit code. if you dont have the code there are published process online to retrieve a code from the device then a number to call to get the code.
My 98 sunfire is stuck in 1st gear,i think everything else is gone...what can i look for to fix it?
Assuming it's automatic transmission and given the age of the vehicle I would look for a new transmission on eBay or at a nearby car recycler. Rebuilding the stuck transmission, which would likely be needed, could cost more than what the car is worth. Also, there should be plenty of these gear boxes around - a very, very common vehicle.
If a standard gear box (never seen one in the sunfire but anything is possible) then the problem could be as simple as a broken or stuck shift cable/linkage. You can test the clutch separately - the car should be able to roll roll once you press the clutch - so if the clutch can disengage and re-engage then check your shifting linkage next.
1998 Pontiac Sunfire won't accelerate
I assume that you do not have a "check engine" light?
The next thing I would do is check the pressure from the fuel pump. You can have this done at your preferred garage, or by purchasing a fuel pressure gauge from any parts store.
Vent the fuel tank vapors by loosening the fuel cap. Remove the electric fuel pump fuse and start the engine. Allow the engine to run until it runs out of fuel and stalls. After spinning the engine over for a period of 3 to 5 seconds, turn off the ignition switch and install the electric fuel pump fuse. Next, install a fuel pressure gauge in the fuel rail supply line, and secure the fuel tank cap. With the ignition key in the on position, verify that no leaks are present and start the engine. Visually verify the PSI reading on the gauge. The pressure for your vehicle should be 41-47 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). Hope this helps and good luck!
