- SL>>>Ok all you car dudes! Help a gal out!
-
- SL>>>My car is a Pontiac Sunbird Convertable.
-
- SL>>>The fourth digit of the VIN is a J
- >>>The tenth digit of the VIN is an H
-
- SL>>>So, according to Chilton's No. 7059 Repair manual for 2000/Sunbird
- >>>cars, my car should be:
-
- SL>>>Engine Code Cu. In. Liters Cyl. Fuel Sys. Year
- >>>----------- --------- ------ ---- ---------- ----
- >>> J 110 (OHC) 1.8 4 MFI Turbo '87
-
- SL>>>Note the the fuel system MFI is Multiport Fule Enjection.
-
-
- SL>>>Now, looking at my car:
- >>> 3
- >>>Cu. In. : ( OHC ) I don't know in
- >>>Liters : 2.0 L (says this on the engine)
- >>>Cyl : 4
- >>>Fuel sys: Fuel Injection, only it isn't multi-port, it is Throttle body!
-
- SL>>>So, why does my car differ then what the book says it should be?
- >>>By the way, my vert is not a turbo.
-
- SL>>>Also, Last summer, I got the AC re-charged. It worked for about a week,
- >>>then stopped working. I had moved, so I didn't take it back.
-
- SL>>>Anyways, I was looking at the big metal case that has a little metal pipe
- >>>that goes into the ratiator, then out of it, then to a smaller little meta
- >>>case, then into the compresor? I think that is what it is, becase it is h
- >>>into the engine belts.
-
- SL>>>Anyways, the smaller little metal case is cracked competely in half. You
- >>>pull it apart.
-
- SL>>>With this being like that, would it have any effect on engine preformance?
-
- SL>>>Thanks for any help!

- hi,
- 1st, the 8th DIGIT is the engine id code. And your A/C problem
- sounds like the combination hoses and it will cost a lot. You
- have to have a certified shop do the repair now a days or you
- break the law...asuming it is hose assembly, probably in area of
- $225-300. Depends on if they replace the
- accummulator/dryer.(which they should!)
- Get back to us with that correct VIN number and then we can ID
- it!
- later,
- Don
