Pontiac Fiero

not a timing issue since the iron duke 2.5 engine has no timing belt

Why Bother! A Briggs & Stratin has more power.

Assuming you are speaking of the front hood, and not the rear engine cover, yes, the 1987 hood will fit the 1984 Notchback. All front hoods are the same, 1984 through 1988. There is a vast parts interchangeability including exterior, interior, electrical, chassis, engine, and transmission, with the 84 through 87 models. Some changes were made in 1988, for instance larger brake rotors, better suspension, etc. so not as many parts are interchangeable with the 1988 and the other years.

To change the automatic transmission fluid in an '85 Fiero, start by raising the vehicle and securing it on jack stands. Remove the transmission pan bolts and carefully lower the pan to drain the old fluid, then clean the pan and replace the filter. Reattach the pan with a new gasket and refill the transmission with the appropriate type and amount of new fluid through the dipstick tube. Always check the fluid level after running the engine and shifting through the gears.

The 1984 Pontiac Fiero's headlight system typically uses a fusible link wire that is 14-gauge. This wire is designed to protect the headlight circuit from overloads by melting and breaking the circuit if excessive current flows. It's important to replace it with the same gauge to ensure proper function and safety. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for the most accurate specifications.

Removing the catalytic converter on your 1987 Pontiac Fiero can cause the engine control unit (ECU) to receive incorrect readings, leading to a high idle and the service engine light being triggered. One common solution is to install an oxygen sensor simulator or a dummy load to trick the ECU into thinking the catalytic converter is still present. Alternatively, you may need to adjust the idle speed manually or check for any vacuum leaks that could be contributing to the high idle. It's also advisable to have the vehicle scanned for trouble codes to identify any specific issues.

To fix fuel delivery problems on an '87 Pontiac Fiero, start by checking the fuel pump and fuel filter for clogs or failures, as these are common culprits. Ensure the fuel lines are not leaking or blocked, and inspect the fuel injectors for proper operation. Additionally, verify that the fuel pressure regulator is functioning correctly and that the electrical connections to the fuel pump are secure. If necessary, replace any faulty components and consider running a fuel system cleaner through the system.

As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, specific registration numbers for 1988 Pontiac Fieros can vary by state and are not typically centralized. To find out how many 1988 GT Fieros are still registered and on the road, you may want to check with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in your area or look for automotive enthusiast forums and clubs that focus on classic cars. Websites like the Fiero Forum or various classic car registries could also provide insights or connections to owners.

To replace the brakes on a Pontiac Fiero, start by lifting the vehicle and securing it on jack stands. Remove the wheel to access the brake components, then unbolt the caliper from its bracket and slide it off the rotor. Replace the brake pads and, if necessary, the rotor, then reassemble the caliper and wheel, ensuring everything is torqued to specifications before lowering the car. Finally, pump the brake pedal to ensure proper brake function before driving.

The 1985 Pontiac Fiero GT with an automatic transmission typically holds about 6 to 7 quarts of transmission fluid, including the amount needed for the torque converter. It's essential to check the owner's manual or consult a service manual for the exact specifications and to ensure proper fluid levels during maintenance.

Insert arm into hole. make sure keyway on arm is in the groove. While pushing in, rotate wiper speed portion of arm until it starts to go in. Then rotate wash lever until it locks in place.

The engine might fit the space, but unlikely with match up with the transmission linkage.

manufacturer recommends 5w30.....I usually use 10w30 in older high milage vehicles. It also depends on your location (climate)

It is behind the drivers head back wall by door opening

If Its the 4 Cylinder 2.5 engine I know what it is...on the 2.5 there is a module located beneath the distributor cap...I believe it is call an ignition control module... theses modules over time will slowly wear out and when the engine is being run hot ( interstate driving for example) it will affect your spark timing which in turn will cause lack of power and the occasional backfire.
