I NEED TO REPLACE MY AIR COMPRESSOR OR CONDENSER I DON'T KNOW WHICH ITS CALLED ON MY 2000 PONTIAC SUNFIRE
The condenser sets just behind the radiator in your car. It is the high pressure, high temperature coil for the air conditioning system in your car. You cannot just install a new condenser and fill the system with refrigerant. You absolutely must evacuate the AC system using a vacuum pump first. This removes any water vapor that is in the AC system. This water vapor will freeze and thaw in the AC system, which will cause major problems in cooling performance.

2000 Sunfire coolant problem. Engine overheating,
ok, its time for a radiator flush. there is major sludge in the internals of this radiator. Make sure the thermostat is in the correct position as well. I've seen many cars come into my shop with the thermostat inserted backwards.

To check the alternator on GM's. Start the car, pull the negative post off the battery. If the car dies, the alternator is bad. If it stays running. Check and/or replace the battery. Also check and clean or replace badly corroded wires from the battery.
Replaced the signal switch in my 2000 sunfire and the turn signals still don't work?
2000 Pontiac sunfire has an interesting issue; the wires corrode in the wiring harness. I'm not sure about just turn signals, it is usually multiple issues. Maybe your driving lights quit too? and maybe you windshield wipers? Start out by running a ground wire from the engine to the firewall; maybe attach (to experiment ) a ground wire to one of the mounting bolts on your windshield wiper motor. I'm guessing the ground is gone.
My 2000 sunfire has shut off on me while driving it 3 times now... but everytime i let it set for an hour or so it will run fine ...
You mean it has to sit that long before it restarts? It won't start right away after it stalls? To find this kind of problem, one needs to run some basic tests for gas and spark when it is acting up. If you have tried cranking it for a long time after it stalls, and it won't start until it has cooled down-that is the right time to check for spark at one of the spark plug wires. If you buy a cheap spark tester at a parts store, you can check for spark without chance of getting shocked. You will need a helper to crank the engine over while you watch for a consistent, strong blue spark.
My rear brakes stick after it has sat for a while but only when it's wet why.
I'm assuming drums brakes.
With that in mind, it's not unheard of, or uncommon for a bit of surface rust to develop on the inside of the drum on the braking surface.
This rust can also slightly "bond" to the brake shoe friction surfaces which can cause the sticking/dragging.
Ii would imagine as you drive they get "less sticky" as the surface rust/moisture scrub off and/or dry out.
There IS a possibility that the shoes themselves simply need adjusted properly.
I've addeds a link to a video that explains the workings of the self adjuster. Yes it's not a Sunfire but it should give you an idea as to what MAY be going on. NOTE, it's a BIT long winded and goes off topic. About 2:20 to 11:40 is the part to watch.

Hope this helps.
Generic problem for all Pontiac Sunfire Cars
Check the Pink wire for high beams and the Dark Blue wire for low beams. Common locations for wiring problems are behind the headlights,
under the battery tray. Check for a corroded wiring harness connector
or wires at this location. If the wires or connections are found to be
corroded, repair or replace the wire or connector as necessary.
