While looking at some other things on my Fiero, I came across this:




Ugh!  It never ends.  I guess the next thing is to replace this deteriorating loom.

That may have been where something from the F Body was bolted, and not something missing from the Fiero.

Have you ever looked back on a choice you made, and wondered what in the heck you were thinking when you made that choice?

Well, in October of 2016, I had a running, driving Fiero.  The only issue was that the AC had quit working.  My, how times have changed.

For Christmas, my Fiero got a detail and hand wash.  Then it was covered up before people arrived.

Took two days to read all of this.  Thanks for putting out the effort to keep this thread going.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I wish it were shorter.  I'm ready for my Fiero to be finished.

I'm going to try some different pulleys on the water pump, alternator, and crankshaft.  The pulleys arrived today, but will have to wait until I'm feeling better for install.

I'm going to try aluminum, but the design is a bit different.  The water pump pulley was difficult to size, to fit over the water pump.

Well, I have a list of about 30 things that need to be fixed on my Fiero.  My hope is to get them fixed this year, but mostly not to discover additional issues.  Maybe it's just me, but my Fiero doesn't really go anywhere while the engine is out.  I'm debating having the transmission rebuilt again.

Actually, the paint could use some help, but not this year.

Meanwhile, this wiring issue is kicking my butt.  Somewhere, there is a ground issue--at least, that's my guess.

Maybe I'm batty, but something odd occurred.  While running my hand along the coolant tube on the driverxs side, I found air blowing on my hand.  This was almost directly below the steering wheel, while the engine was running, and the blower was on.  I was not expecting this.  At first, I thought it was coolant, but no, just air.  Any explanation?

If your cooling fan was running you might feel air in that area.

Just cabin fan.  Not radiator fan.
