I have an 86 gt as well. It has been having all the same problems that
you speak of. First i took it to the local mechanic, he charges too
much and does sloppy work but he said ignition control module. I had
an aftermarket one from the Fiero Store that was still under warranty,
but i had him replace it with an outrageously priced AC-Delco unit
because i was tired of the problems. Didnt run the way it used to,
loss of power and a miss in low rpms. I took it back, he said it was
the ecm. I replaced that and the prom chip with one from a junk fiero.
Still the same problems, except it lost even more power as I had a
hypertech chip in my former ecm. It finally left me stranded on the
freeway until 3 am after some 90mph crusing. I decided it was time. I
went through and replaced the entire fuel pump and sending unit,
relay, and rewired everything. When i hooked everything back up it
would not run correctly. I was so angry after an entire weekend and
over 300 dollars in parts that i almost gave up. But i noticed a wet
spot on the right side of the engine under the intake. The schrader
valve that comes up from the fuel block on that side of the engine was
leaking gas, and i assume pressure when it was running, causing my
engine to run the way it was. I went over to my project fiero, an
88gt, and removed the cap that it had on its scrader valve. I assume
it holds the pressure, as after i placed it tightly on mine it ran
much better. Let it warm up and took it for a drive. I was going up to
about 4,500 rpms in each gear, but at about 2,000 rpms in third gear
it died. I hadn’t even made it 2 miles from home. Wouldn’t start.
Walked home, got a tow rope, brought it home. I’m now waiting on the
warranted ignition module in the mail which should be here soon. I
doubt this will solve the problem, as i have a 1 month old AC-Delco
module. While it’s not a performance module, it should keep the car
running. If anyone has any ideas i would much appreciate it. I just
cannot figure out the problem with this car. Thanks.
