I'm pretty sure it's the water pump since it shut up and stopped groaning so I'll be replacing it with a fiero store one.
also a friend bought a purple 88 formula that needs suspension and a water pump but otherwise won't overheat so if I put a pump in and it starts overheating I'll know the real issues I'm facing. it's a car put together by someone who's done quite a few 4.9 swaps so It's coming from a good place

The gauge doesn't work but doesn't shut off after 20 minutes? And then it gets really weird. What are you saying.

I'm saying the gauge is broken and it's no longer shutting off from the heat but still gets hot.
I'm pretty sure jts the pump and now have a similar car to test it on

What he is saying is that Tangerine Nightmare is HAUNTED!! It's already seeking its next victim. That poor purple Fiero.

Now I finaly get it! Carter is a live ghost who haunts unsuspecting Fierros. Fortunately Yellow is on the opposite coast.
But .... ut oh. ghosts go anywhere. Actually ... I'm noticing some interesting minor issues .....

No. It's the car. Not Carter. Carter is as much of a victim as any other unsuspecting mark. The car is using Carter for its diabolical mission...eat as many Fieros as possible. It needs to feed. And Carter is the perfect mark. I think it's starting to possess him!!

That sounds like a plausible theory. If it feeds, then it must grow and logically, reproduce.
How does it reproduce? Is it contagious? Are there any symptoms of early infection?

I sincerely apologize Carter, but you are just too much fun not to goof with. You make me smile and that's a good thing.
It's hard to help with your style of car work but I will keep trying.

Carter, I meant no offense. Just adding some humor to your "interesting" issues with that car.

This I don't really understand. At 120+ miles an hour, my 87 Fiero SE / V6 (aero style) was rock solid on the road. Matter of fact, the car felt more planted when it was pegged at 120 miles an hour than it did at 60.
I also never had any issues with my headlights either... but I know that's a common problem. My Fiero's suspension wasn't modified at the time, pretty stock.

Carter, please don't leave. You're not the only one who finds the old man exceptionally annoying. You'll get your Fiero running awesome, and we'll help you.[This message has been edited by 82-T/A [At Work] (edited 08-09-2024).]
