What would the rocker switches right in front of the cig lighter be for?

Seat heaters?

Thats what I though of too. Would that be a factory thing? I've never seen those in a Fiero.

Dang! That's not a bad looking car. Stored on concrete should have helped keep any rust issues at bay. At least I think it would.

What is the situation with getting a title for it in Mizzou?

EDIT: That looks like a solid car! Mr. Mikes seat and a good dash.

See all of the good info people miss by not reading all the current posts in all the threads. This one started as Charlies 86 SE! LOL

That was right off the Missouri Department of Insurance website. I should have mentioned that in my previous post. It seems this is the case in all states except New Hampshire. Big Brother in the information age!

It looks like Missouri is the same as Georgia. I think most States are like Georgia when it comes to insurance.

Mandatory automobile liability insurance

If you own or operate a motor vehicle in Missouri, you are required by law to insure that automobile with coverage for injuries you cause to another, for at least $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage. The Department of Revenue is now tracking drivers to make sure they keep their liability insurance policies in force. If you let your coverage lapse you will be subject to suspension of the vehicle's registration and possibly your driver's license.

I didn't know plates could be cancelled.  I may not renew, but have never cancelled them.  Did you get a refund?

In Georgia if you drop the insurance without cancelling the registration you will get a nice letter from the state with a fine for driving the car without insurance. The state doesn't know the car isn't on the road and assumes you are driving without insurance.

I tried to explain this to my neighbor and he didn't listen. By the time he was done it cost him over $500 in fines and fees and many hours of phone calls!

The first Fiero I ever looked at for purchase, I opened the drivers door and it fell completely off. I kept looking.

  Most times now when I write a check, they give it back to me after I sign their little pad and they convert my check to an electronic bank transfer.

Writing a check? Is that where you write numbers and stuff down on the paper in that little book thingy?

You forgot to mention that I changed the injector wiring harness first, but that resulted in no change in the way the engine was running.

I also threw a couple more injectors into the bag in case the bad one cannot be fixed.

I felt pretty certain it was the injector after the testing you and I did. Swapping the harness to verify it was definitely the right thing to do to make absolutely sure.

 I can pick up the injectors and take them to the injector guy. No sense in Charlie doing all of that driving unless he just wants to take a drive.

That'll be interesting.

The part about first hybrid in the US didn't sound right, so I looked it up.  GM made the 512 Hybrid in 1968.  That is more than 3 decades prior to the Japanese hybrids.

The first hybrid sold in the states was the Prius and then the Insight. The insight only has a 1 liter 3 cylinder so power isn't great but I got 62MPG on my last trip to Nashville so I won't complain.

My daily driver is an 05' Insight. There is more room on the inside than a Fiero and the fuel economy isn't bad either.

I've got an evaporator out of a parts car. I don't know if it is any good though. There are no signs of refrigerant oil on the fins though.
