Bought from Graeme...

Sweet! Of course, it's evident the madness has now begun. This is how it starts. Soon there'll be a third Fiero in the Johanson driveway.

Heh. Well on Saturday there'll be at least 3 of them when you're over, but I'll be selling the 2m4 eventually.

Oh god damn, another V6. I am now going to own slowest car out there (Thank goodness for Patty!). Machine looks excellent (Absolutely flawless, really). Look forward to seeing it at the next meet or autocross, whichever comes first. |

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

Wow....very nice. This has got to be one of the coolest Fiero configurations out there.
This is turning out to be a big year for purchases in the club. Things they are a changing. Can't wait to see it in person. The Dawg |

I changed the front shocks today to some new KYBs, quite a noticeable difference. I'm pretty sure the old ones were done, I had a feeling the front end was moving around too much. I'll probably move over the rear KYB struts from my old car when Patrick is over on Saturday, assuming he doesn't need me to help with his car.

Sure, here you go:
The car is running rich and you can smell it. What could cause this? I'm thinking to check the timing and replace the O2 sensor before trying again. I kind of thought it would fail, I just needed to do it since I couldn't transfer the last two months of insurance over from my old car without at least failing. |

Colby, these are your readings from Here. Has this car never been AirCared previously? Here are the readings from my '86 GT with no cat (which I posted about Here) just to compare with your readings.
Are you absolutely sure you can still transfer the insurance? I was told I could NOT transfer insurance over from my '86 GT to my '84 unless the '84 passed AirCare.

Yep, first time through and first fail, that means I'm allowed at most 3 months of insurance. I transferred it last night.
It looks like if the car was an 86 it would have passed easily. Just for reference, this is what my duke did: ![]() The difference between 2008 and 2009 is a working EGR valve. |

Ah right, you're lucky! My duke didn't want to feel left out, so here's it's readings compared to your duke. The difference between 2010 and 2011 is a functional cat.

What changes did you make to your duke between the two most recent results?
Edit: I see you updated your post. |

Yay, the car passed!
![]() So, what changed with the car? Well, I had swapped MAP sensors with a known working one, and at the end of the last meeting, David had a scan tool with him and determined that the TPS wasn't in the correct range or something like that (Thanks! ![]() |

I think I had mentioned that the cat most likely needed replacing because I knew the previous owner hadn't done any work and I didn't do any. My GT needed it too when I bought it, same idea, could see right through it... crazy stuff.
Great to hear you got it aircared. Great readings too. |
