The formula was just a body option. It has nothing to do with the performance of the car or what drive train is in it.
So the short answer to your question is YES.

This problem is caused by the headlight gear being stripped. If you go on ebay, there is someone who sells brass headlight gears. Once you put the gear in, you will not have this problem again. . . unless the other gear goes bad. It's usually the driver's side headlight that does it.

There is actually a fix for this problem. There is no return spring for the clutch being that it is hydraulic. You need to take the master cylinder out and drill the return line an 1/8th of an inch. The reason why it sticks is because the return line is too small. All the fluid is backed up and once it is cleared, the clutch will return to normal. There is an article in GM High Performance magazine online that has the step by step instructions to fix it. Hope this helps.

Good luck and rate this solution.

buy manual, it is probably electronic not adjustable

Loosen motor mount bolts holding engine to mounts. Raise engine enough to remove pan. use 4x4 wood blocks to hold engine up so you can let it down on the blocks. Use wood block between jack & engine when lifting!

lol ok.. you may need to check all of your lights and fuses, not just head lights.. example from experience, we had a 91 firebird that had a tail light out and every time we hit the brake pedal both head lights would come up after replacing the bulb on the tail light the head lights were fixed...

You have a short in your electrical system or bad ECM.

Recommend you have the MAF sensor chk'd. Mass air flow sensor., Good luck, Ned

Wire connection on pump is poor or incorrect.

your oil pump does that on purpose - more noticeable with a dented oilpan as pressure is slightly increased. nothing to do until it goes (if it goes) unless you want to throw parts at your car anyways.

6cyl or v8?

There is a possibility that the oil pressure sending unit is bad and not giving you correct readings at the lower pressures. Also, make sure that the oil is in fact full, and it is changed regularly.

get a new car
