Re: Buying 98 3.8 Firebird with problems, need advice
Nothing there worries me except the oil PSI.
Most of that will be fixed with a tune up, and the gunk in the radiator is because someone once upon a time mixed Dexcool (the orange stuff, which came in the car) with the old green stuff.... mix the two and you get a mud filled coolant system. a good flush should take care of it.
The oil pressure though, even at 192k miles my 3.8 would be aroudn 60 psi most of the time.... myabe drop down a hair when stopped
