My neighbor has a '99 Firebird w\ the V6, 39,900 miles and about 5 months past the warranty.
As he described it, it started leaking coolant between the top and bottom plenums. Has anybody else experienced this w\ a '99 V6? What resource is there for possible factory recalls? Thanks.

Top and bottom plenums? Are you referring to the intake manifold?

Well, the 3800 is a damn good motor. There might be a TSB on the gaskets. I have not known one to leak from there though.

Brian, I was thinking intake manifold but that's how my neighbor described it. Thanks FFCC.

if the manifold is plastic check it for cracks. there've been a few problems with that happening with the plastic intakes. mike

I am pretty sure there was a TSB (or recall?) on the FWD 3.8 L-36 for that problem.
I hope these links work- I havent used them for a while- Recall Database Search by Make, Model and Year: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/ Service Bulletins Database Search by Make, Model and Year http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/tsb/ |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
