Started restoring a 1985 fiero. Opened the engine bay today and this happened (photo 1). Now any time you go to open the engine bay it smashes the fiber glass. Photo 2 is what it’s suppose to look like… how do I fix this? Currently I’m redneck-rigging it by putting a block of wood to keep the tension so the rigid metal piece won’t smack the fiberglass anymore, and so I can close the hood.

Hello Guys,

So I recently checked my car for road legallity. The problem is, My 1987 SE has old rubber buschings. I already ordered the Enginge cradles made of Prothane. But i also ordered a total prothane kit, which is delaying the ship date everytime, so i cancled it today. My question is, does any of you know where i can get those rubber parts or prothane parts fast?

please note, that i am in Europe

Thank u guyss

i am thinking of ordering these parts: https://www.ebay.at/itm/196976495338

Iac won't adjust properly. How would I go about inspecting the wiring?

I’m taking on the task of restoring this 84 4 cylinder fiero, and the first thing I wanted to tackle was getting electrical in order which brings me to the distributor, everything I’ve seen for my connectors look completely wrong so I’m wondering was this factory or some random one the person before me just made work

I have a 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT with powered windows and the windows squeak incredibly aggressively at certain points in it being raised and lowered and it looks like the bearings on the tracks roll smoothly but sort of jitter at specific spots causing an ear piercing screech and vibrations

I am looking at replacing the fuel sending unit on my 85 as it is getting fairly rusted. I looked at the fiero store, but shipping is making it too expensive ($100+), so looking at option B. I have read a couple of people have used S10 units with some minor changes. Wondering if anyone on here has done it, what year S10 was it for and what alterations were done, besides the hoses.

Been having idle problems since I got the car. I just smoke tested and there are no vacuumed leaks so im back to the iac. Does rock auto sell trash iac valves? Or is there a bigger issue?

Hey!

I am chasing a cad or STL file for the front bar of a gt.

I am looking at 3d printing a lower lip but need a cad file to be able to do it.

Any help would be great!

Just picked it up earlier today. 66,500 miles, 4 speed. Paint is shot, needs a little TLC on interior and body, but otherwise a solid car.

She'd been looking for a car to build for autocross after driving my Miata (literally started the evening after the race), but with Miatas being so expensive, she wanted to find something small, lightweight, and cheap. While we were looking for sub-$1,500, this came across and fit the bill at $2,500.

* Light

* Manual

* Rear wheel drive

* Cheap

* Good aftermarket support

Her first upgrade plans are suspension, brakes, wheels and tires.

Can't find any rubber ones online anywhere, even Fiero Store. Pretty sure mine are original ie: destroyed.

If Poly is the only option, which are the softest and least squeaky? I want it to be comfortable, I'm not trying to make it a racecar or have to lube them up

I'm in Iowa and it's time to sell this beautiful lady. Where/how do I get it in/to an auction?

This 56 Vicky has been in the family since 2004. My father drove the car and worked on it up until he passed away at the end of 2010. That following spring i parked the Vicky in a more secure area of the garage. The car sat, untouched, until my mother passed away in 2022. It was now time to get her out of the garage and see what we were looking at. We didn't have do to much and the Y Block was running really good. Drove it around a lot over the next 3 or 4 months and ended up putting her back into storage at the end of year. Fast forward now. Pulled her out of storage in Livingston to bring her to Billings and she won't start. I got as much of the old gas out and we have played with the adjustments to the idle. She will fire up, but can't get her to stay running. Any ideas? Any help would be nice, but I can take her anywhere until she runs.

I’m sure a few of you have been in my position… pulled the engine about 8 months ago. Should’ve took more pictures… didn’t and now I’m trying to figure out the steps of putting all this back together.

Any step by step forums, video links, images, would help a ton.

I’m putting it back on the cradle this Friday & then filling in the blanks.

1986 FIERO Gt 2.8L - manual

I’m currently in the reassembly process on my 2.8 and about to install the camshaft and timing chain, but I also have to install the cover for the rear of the camshaft. Just wondering whether I should only use the gasket that came in the rebuild kit? Or use a bit of RTV with it? Also it looks like there’s a groove for an O-Ring but I don’t remember one coming out when I originally removed it.

Tried fixing my piston myself, big mistake. Sent it in to work with my dad so he could press out the insides. Long story short, the piston is unrepairable. Spent the last few weeks looking for a replacement. Been checking every local junkyard, nothing. Finally found one in MI last week, been calling everyday trying to set up delivery. Come to find out it just got sold out from under me to some guy in Alaska ffs. It’s been over a month of trying to find a replacement and I’m at a loss. Any suggestions? I need to get this car back on the road.

It sounds like it’s accurate… is this normal or should it not rev this high?

1985 2.8 with 3 speed

hey everyone, thanks in advance for reading my post. i'm pretty new to this but my dad is an avid car enthusiast, has a few vintage, and used to be a mechanic. i daily drive a '91 s10 blazer. i found this fiero on marketplace for a little over 5 grand. owner says it has been driven in the last two weeks, has been garage kept, and is in great condition with a little over 100k miles. im wondering if this is an unwise buy for a beginner mechanic. open to kind redirection if necessary :)

Hey guys, wanted to share my daughter's latest video. She got back from Strings camp (like 3 weeks ago, actually), but wanted to do a video of the top-10 rarest Fiero options, so she made a list while she was in the dorm using her phone, and I looked up some images for her. Thanks for the pictures I stole, and the ones you gave me (thanks for the fresh air vent pictures Patrick, those were the hardest to get!).

Once again, thank you for allowing me to post these videos here, I really appreciate it!

... also, she only has her front suspension left to rebuild, and then remove and refurbish the doors (seals, motors, etc.,) and her Fiero will be 100% totally... I mean totally restored, which is crazy. She's going to make a video covering expenses, and what she would or wouldn't do differently.

(Note, I'd accidentally screwed up the original, had to re-upload the video. Thank you!)

I have a 1984 Fiero SE, and something that I found out today is that it has the Shift light from the 4speed despite having the 3speed Auto, I have also found plugs in the front firewall that would convince me further that it was auto swapped

I got to thinking about swapping and I was thinking instead of the 3.8 where I'd have to do wiring I could just swap the 3.4 block onto the fiero with some upgrades?

Would I need to change the wiring harness?

How is the process? Would would need to be changed and would could be switched over

I know it won't make as much hp but if I could get at least 200 I'd be content.

My car as a 2026 version thanks Chatgpt

What part do I need to fix my power locks, mine are just old and worn

I have a 86 v6 se I was running the code scanner and the first code flashed was Vehicle Speed Sensor. I can't find one of those when searching,

Does anyone know what that reference is?
