I replaced the cts last night and it's running mucho better now. Revs up nicely, no flaming. The only thing i can figure is it was too lean because the temp was reading too high and the flames spread easily up through the intake. I'm just guessing at this point.
Next, I've got to bleed brakes and give it a run to get the air control valve to learn 0 and idle right.

Your brakes are bled properly when you stand on the brake pedal from 70mph, come to a complete stop and, the 'Spatula Option' comes out of the dash and scrapes you off of the inside of the windshield. ;D

Um, those aren't Fiero brakes.  They may be on a Fiero, but that I've never had a Fiero stop like that.  In a 'Cuda dragster, letting off the throttle slows the car down faster than the stock brakes in a Fiero.

You must not have an 88. The stock brakes are good on 88 Fieros.

Not good, just better.  I have an '88.  I improved my brakes, and now they feel modern.

Blocked off egr. Revs up normal now, but now runs rich at idle for a little bit. Chugs and belchs black smoke until warm.

Did you block off both ends of the EGR tube, disconnect the battery for a few minutes and then run it?

I forgot to reset the ecm. Duh! 
I blocked off with a coke can at the gallery. It's a duke. (No tube)

tbi should have tipped me off. Oops. Best wishes for a 13.7 to 1 mix and no black smoke and belching.
