Pontiac Fiero

Check your Automatic Transmission fluid level

Yes, a 3.1 will fit in the Fiero. They are the same block.

Yes. The THM125C has a governor. The governor is just below the speedometer sensor. 1986 Pontiac fiero service manual section 125C page 22.

The Fiero Store (www.fierostore.com) has a picture of a red Fiero notchback that appears in it's picture cycles that is a hardtop convertible. You might have to hit refresh a few times but it does appear in the middle picture as they cycle through. It could be done just like any other convertible conversion on a Fiero.

The underside of the body would have to be braced first, as if the frame is cut in any manner without the bracing and the drivetrain is still in the body the chassis will flex. As the rear clip is easily removable, it would just be a matter of combining the upper portion of the fiberglass roof, the rear window, and the upper portion of the rear clip into a latchable unit that could be removed from the inside. Latches could be obtained from any common convertible in a salvage yard (Sebring, LeBaron, etc.)

Any way it goes it would require significant work.

Source: Have owned four Fieros over ten years.

The "glove compartment" would be that tiny storage space between the driver and passanger seats. There isn't a regular glove compartment.

It should be up so you can push it down to release the break.

If you have taken the Baffles out you need to also install a high flow air filter and adjust and/or re-jet the carb to match. if you have done this, it may be electrical, possible the coil. If it only started this after taking the baffles out try putting baffles back in. if you change the exhaust flow you must also change the intake to match.

If the problem is electrical , I believe your pickup sensor " behind cover that used to have points" , is going bad .You ,can check this by starting the bike and point hair dryer at point cover. If your engine pops and goes dead within 3 or 4 minutes with hair dryer on high you will need to change the sensor.

center console, behind the cigarette lighter. u have to take out the screws to remove the panel and then its right there.

The standard stock Chevrolet V-6 engine has 160 horsepower. The horsepower of a V-6 engine can vary greatly, due to many different factors.

your tcc could be faulty, assuming its an auto. faulty neutral switch maybe

I just completed this project using the very similar 3.8 super charged from a 2001 Pontiac

This not so rare but difficult to find part will have a cost set by the seller. Because these change hands so rarely you will just have to make a deal.

It's 15 pounds for the former, and 17 pounds for the latter.

The clutch hydraulics have a problem is the most likely issue

Either clutch master cylinder or clutch slave cylinder

No but unless you have a professional trans shop with tools it is easier, and most trans shops drop the engine due to the hassle doing it the other way takes

It depends on what Fiero SE you own. There are two types. The earlier SE models, '84-'86, used a 85 mph speedometer for the four cylinder engine. It would not be until the '87 V6 model that the SE cars received the 120 mph "GT", as it's called, speedometer assembly.

If you already have a 120 mph speedometer in your Fiero SE, it will work just fine. If it's the 85 mph speedometer, it will not, and would read incorrectly until you perform the necessary modifications to make it act like a 120 mph speedometer should.

It depends what engine it is a V-6 has 130HP until 1987 they had 140HP, the l-4 had 110HP

i 4 had 92-98 hp depending on year v6 had 140 hp all years i believe in 1987 they lowered the rpm's so it looked like it had less so that it would fit in a cheaper car insurance bracket

No, Fiero seats are pretty special to fit in where they are.

I recomend you repair your old with parts from the fiero store.

The THM125 automatic is a good solid piece and can with proper care be used with the V8 engine swap

The original 5 speed manual is similarly strong.

As a refit the 4t60 and 4t60E are good choices for increased fuel economy and strength but require considerable modification to install.

First the engin idles high in the begining till it get to a some what warm position. it is 25 yrs old. then it should idle around 1000 or a little lower. There could be an adjustment made to the timing to advance the problem. I am in the process of doing this myself tomorrow I just had to put in a coolant sensor and that made my engein idle really low and die out. Now that this day has come I had decided to spray carb cleaner into and round the carb. while reavin engine by hand. WOW WHAT A FN different this has solved th problem. mus rember yhis is old car and lots of dirt and mechinizams.... let me say tho this still a progressing process. I must now find out Y the fan now only come on when AC MAX is on. jus started after i put n coolant temp sensor. (but that did clear up dying of engine. So now what? HELP ME

Disconect battery.

Jack up car and Make Safe to work under, You need to work on the front end of the engine from underneath.

Un bolt the starter, Depending on what plant built your engine 9/16 or 15mm bolt heads. Lower it gently to hang on the wires.

Undo the wires, and reverse the process to install the new one.

Depending on the cars options it may be easier to undo the wires before lowering the starter.

All Fieros have the same 5 X 100mm Bolt patern

Many Front drive GM into the mid 1990s use this pattern

Many european cars use this pattern, Notably BMW

Many SUbarus use the same pattern and almost identical offset. I have a set of aftermarket 17" Wheels off a Subaru on my Fiero
