87 Fiero SE 2.5 auto sputters
got this here fiero that had been sitting for about 2-3 years before i bought it.
found it under pretty beat up lookin tarp. after i towed it home i replaced the battery, plugs, alternator, and gave it a thorough carb cleaning. fired right up after those parts were replaced! but while running the engine will (without any warning whatsoever) begin to sputter and the check engine idiot light comes on. if i dont immediatley stomp my foot down on the accelerator, it will undoubtedly stall out. i realize that the fiero has what is called a "distributor-less" ignition system. i've never dealt with this system before.... i'm thinking it could either be something in that system, the plug wires, or even something clogging the fuel lines. i plan to swap the extremely inexpensive fuel filter within the next few days, hopefully thats the problem. any ideas? (on a side note, anyone know a good place to get mounting brackets for the rear spoiler for cheap? the threads in the spoiler are completely broken and stripped out...) |

Re: 87 Fiero SE 2.5 auto sputters

sittin at a red light, idiot light came on. immediatley shut it down, and my friend and i pushed it the rest of the way home. (about a good 3/4 mile...) anywho. bought myself a aftermarket temp guage and ima install it this afternoon. along with the new fuel filter i bought. that is, if i can find my 16mm wrench for the fuel lines...:/ still no ideas on the sputtering? anyone? |

You need to pull the error codes. http://www.fiero.nl/cgi-bin/main.cgi?ECMCodes
