@@davidtryon1205 It's running and driving great! I have little things to fix here and there, mainly from the previous owner letting it sit for a long time, but for now I'm driving it as much as I can.
@@tailsfromthejunkyard1023 my channel has a lot of fiero repair info you should check it out. I also have a page on fb just dedicated to the fiero. Lots of repair info there also. facebook.com/PontiacFieroRepairCenterPage/
I make those egr gaskets from dead soft aluminum sheet fixes the problem forever...... On my daughter olds intrque there's a dog bone mount in front I remove and the engine moves forward for tune up access I guess you didn't have that option, been awhile since you posted last cool your still going at it!
Love your work on Fiero, I have same year Fiero as yours. problem i have is all the wires and connectors around engine are chew up by critters.is it possible to get link on where i can find all wires and tubes .Thank you
I did that shortly after this video and it did run way better! Thank you for the hint though, I appreciate all the help I can get regarding this car so thank you.
There should be an air filter box that looks like a can at the end of the intake tube. There will be a nut at the top of the can, unscrew that and the lid should pop off fairly easily revealing the round filter inside. Please let me know if this helps
2.5 or 2.8? 2.5 filter is old type with big filter ring on top of engine. 2.8 is located on driver's side behind firewall in black metal tank. All you need is a 10 mm wrench I believe. Most of them have rust on the bottom of canister now days so check. You may have to pull it, clean it well and repaint. Use high heat grill spray paint.
I've been thinking after replacing my EGR tube that maybe I should have replaced those two studs with bolts. The studs make it difficult to remove the EGR tube. What are your thoughts?
I owned a 1986 V6 SE Firero 2M6 with a 3 speed automatic with a factory sun roof from 1991-1996. It was a fun car to own and drive. The biggest cheap/free mods that I was able to do to the car was to advance the timing a few degrees, install a K&N filter in the factory airbox and modify the air intake opening on the side of the car (it's actually a small piece of rubber with an even smaller opening that connects the outside air vent to the airbox if I remember correctly. You want get a big gain in performance from those mods, but you will get a nice, small noticeable gain. I also installed a set of Hyper Tech underdrive pulleys (crank, alternator and water pump) but to be honest they didn't make any difference that I could notice (I wouldn't recommend the underdrive pulleys as they tended to make the lights dim at idle and seemed to make the power windows operate slow at idle also). I also installed an aftermarket exhaust which didn't make any performance gains either. I raced my car at a local 1/8th mile dragstrip a few times and it ran an average of 10.20@73 MPH. It just wasn't a fast car, even by the standards of the 1980's or the 1990's, but it was fun to drive. If you plan on keeping the car and driving it much I would suggest in investing in an oil filter relocation kit as getting to the oil filter was a real PITA from what I can remember.
I just got an '88 Formula 5 speed and it's a blast!
Awesome I love 88 Formulas, hows it goin for ya?

You should have routed the spark plug wires over the intake. The egr pipe gets very hot and your wires are right next to it under the intake.
Good point, I hadn’t thought of that

Your very welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed the video
Thanks for the heads up on these cars. Can’t wait to get mine
The beard is looking strong bro
Why thank you!
Enjoying your Fiero videos !!! Love that 88!!
Hello from Ontario, Canada! I'm hoping to buy a Fiero this weekend and am very excited to drive it.
Well I highly recommend it. It is a great car with a great community and you’ll have miles of fun in it.
@@tailsfromthejunkyard1023 I'll upload a video of it if it ends up coming home with me. We'll see!
@@MultiSpencerc awesome looking forward to it

Fiero Store will have everything you need.
I took the hood off and it was easy to work on.
The engine isn't under the hood. It's under the decklid.
Try putting a cap and rotor on it might run better. . I am a fiero owner
I did that shortly after this video and it did run way better! Thank you for the hint though, I appreciate all the help I can get regarding this car so thank you.
First rule on working on frond side of engine club. Pop out the PCV tube.
🤣🤣🤣
Nice car man. That is my dream car. Enjoy.
Thank you, I will, it’s one of my dream cars as well
Hey looks good man I've heard plug 6 is very tough! I do see a hose of some sort disconnected @5:24 of video..may be a drain hose idk
Can you show how to change the air filter on the Fiero GT. If someone knows how please respond to this message

Pull the dog bone. It will give you some motor flex and a bit better access to that side of the engine.
Thanks!...wish I would have thought of that...next time

Do you know what I hadn’t thought of that. That would make it more practical although thankfully the EGR tube is flexible so that helps.
