Whatever. Fixed.

Well, thanks.  I'll check that confounded oil leak tomorrow.  ;D

The temp issue is being uncooperative.  There don't seem to be air pockets.

I almost suspect the water pump.

I never knew there was a gasket for the distributor, or the DIS oil pump drive.  Never heard anyone ever mention one.  Just the O-ring.

Me, either.  Considering how many "Fiero mechanics" had it apart, maybe we weren't the only ones.

Flex-Seal    ;D

I would think there would be, (or if there isn't, there really should be) a gasket under the top of the piece, too, where it is fastened to the block.

Raydar gave me the idea.

It looks as if a new AC compressor is in order, next year.

Well, the good news is that the engine isn't overheating.  The bad news is that the gauge shows that it is.  I can't blame the gauge, due to how hot the sensor itself gets.

New issue.  The transmission is leaking from the output shaft and the pan gasket.

I'm having trouble finding a gasket I'm sure is correct.

Anyone know how to find the correct pan gasket for  a 4T60 transmission?

Ask for the gasket for a 95 Buick Park Avenue. That should be it.

Well, the gasket is a different shape.  Apparently, 1992 was the last year for this transmission.

The water pump is out.  There isn't a lot of space for removing the gasket.

Well, the new water pump is in.  No improvement.  The temp on the heads is consistent and good.  Both the temp sender and the CTS were replaced, and the temp sensor pigtail was replaced.  The gauge (which is calibrated) was reading in the red, but the coolant was only warm at the CTS.


The only thing I can figure is that there is a short somewhere.  Any idea where?  The issue seems to be worse while the car is stopped--even in park, so not the brake pedal.
