Fixed the right blinker indicator (or lack thereof) by putting the bulb in the correct socket.  This also fixed the issue of the hazard lights blinking very slooooooooowly.

More check engine lights today.  Coming off the highway.  Last time, it was after I passed someone.  Checked EGR area.  No leaks apparent.

The temperature issues seem to be resolved.  The gauge shows slightly below 220, most of the time.  Sometimes a bit lower, sometimes right on 220.

True temperature should show just shy of the needle being straight down.

Like maybe 2 marks below 220?

It gets down that far, but usually touches the center mark.

Yesterday, I discovered a 1/8th" crack in my dash.  I did not grant permission for my dash to crack, nor do I find this acceptable.  Currently searching for methods to fix this.

Tilt column downward---remove main instrument pod---remove auxiliary gauge pod---remove radio surround soft vinyl---remove speaker grills and speakers---remove dash---install replacement dash---follow previous steps in reverse order.

That's the only way I know.    :(

Nice dashes are hard to come by.

Continuing to monitor this.

Sorry about the poor picture quality.

Ryan thinks my chip burn may not have taken correctly, and will have to be burned again.  Rather than have my Fiero down, I plan to source another chip.

It does not seem likely that a bad burn would function at all, but not my thing.

My Fiero idles about 650 RPM, once warmed up.  That is certainly as low as I believe it can idle. I think 850 RPM would be better, although my trucks idle at 400 RPM.

My idle is low, around 650RPM when warmed up.  If I hit the throttle, the RPMs drop before increasing, znd the engine almost dies.  I'm trying to figure out how to fix this.  In drive, the RPMs are a bit higher at idle, but I get the same behavior.  The TPS is suspect, of course.  No vacuum leaks apparent.  Any ideas?

The Fiero throttle body is supposed to be mechanically adjusted to permit idle at 600 RPM even if the idle air control is stuck closed. A malfunctioning IAC could be the cause of your problem.
