Well the time has come to let my beloved Fiero go. The job market is not cooperating with me and I need to sell her pretty quickly if at all possible. I had posted this car on Craigslist but I figure here is a better place for someone who appreciates these cars more. I have it listed for more on Craigslist but since this forum has helped me so much I would like to cut someone a deal on a very nice car. Ianyone is interested in the car please make me an offer worst I can say id no. I have about $5000 in receipts for this car from my self and previous owners. I traded for this car for my son last year with a forum member but he found it too hard to get in and out of (hes a big boy lol) so I sold my white 86GT and kept this one for myself since it had so much put into it already. Now for the bad news. I drove this car daily last fall up until about October and it was running perfect. This spring since first time I started it it has run really crappy on cold start (have to keep feathering the throttle to keep it running until it warms up). I don't have the money right now to have it scanned to see what is going on so it has been sitting with the cover over it. It is still drivable but you have to wait for it to warm up before you go anywhere. I am listing most of the things that I know are done to the car for any potential buyer to realize the money dumped into this car the past few years. I am sure I am forgetting some things. If anyone wants any specific pictures let me know and I can email them. I am having problems with my picture resizer.

EDIT/UPDATE: Got car scanned today. No codes and all sensors are working properly and in range. The only problem it has right now it the scanner is saying it is running lean. H/C is a tad high, CO2 is in range and cylinder burn rate is in range. While troubleshooting we found that the distibutor was one tooth off on the gear causing the issues I was having and we also determined my battery is about shot. It is up enough to start the car when cold but once it warms up car turns over very slow. I drove the car several miles today and damn that timing adjustment made a huge difference. Its like driving a different car now lol!

1) NEW 3.4 long block in 2007. Milage unknown but I am guessing about 20K
2) New seat covers
3) New headliner
4) New clear turn signal covers
5) New Suspension technologies coilovers and lowering springs
6) Used but very nice 18" AZUL wheels with Kuhmu tire (225/45-18) Rears tires will need replaced soon.
7) Cold air intake into fender not under trunk deck.
8) New Fiero GT steering wheel (pictures show a red wheel that I have changed out)
9) Sunroof shade with bag
10) New carpets
11) Used but very clean fiero floor mats (No embroidery)
12) Fiero Store tinted sail panels
13) TXgood cupholder armrest
14) New Infintewill GT trunk seal
15) Mustang hood scoop
16) Fiero GT trunk cover
17) Car Cover
18) I have a new set of locks for this car (both doors and trunk) Drivers door lock is installed wrong and not seated to door correctly.
19) Dash is in amazing shape
20) Since owning cap, rotor, plugs, ICM and pigtail have all been changed
21) New paint in 2009 not perfect but very presentable. Only bad flaw is a blister on the roof behind the sunroof
22) Car has "0" rust. Came from Georgia
23) New Dew wipes (I'm guessing DIYstu)
24) Complete poly suspension front and rear

Wow not a single reply?? I've had just one PM on this car since posting. Its someone looking to get back into fieros after a 5 year hiatis. Hope he loves it as much as I do!! Guys and gals dont be afraid to make a reasonable offer. If your close to me I would really appreciate a little help diagnosing whats wrong with it too. That is my task for today to figure out whats wrong on cold start up. Thanks

Car is at my buddies for diagnostics today. Hoping its just a bad sensor or something simple and reasonably cheap to fix. I want this car running right for the new owner. Must say I had a blast driving it to his house yesterday lol!

Did you retain the cold start injector from the original engine/fuel rail? If so, could be that.
And a free bump
And a PM sent.

It is running great now. Battery got a recondition overnight and is now holding a charge. Fires right up and purrs like a kitten! I edited my original post to update what was found. Turned out to be a timing issue and low battery voltage.

I just saw this car at Donnie's the other day. The car sounds good, looks good and I think someone's going to get a great deal for what he is asking. Free bump....
