Has the project going lately? I'm going to check out my trueleo intake and see if that isn't causing some of my problems. As for your intake, I ran mine out the hole where the stock intake sucked in air and attached my filter on the outside of the frame just behind the body panel. Thought that was a good spot because it got the filter completely out of the engine compartment. I'd post a picture for you, but don't know how to.

The problem is my TB is closer to the deck hinge than the stock one.
Latest updates:
Got a chip from DarthFiero that attempts to control the Fiero speedo. I had to build a circuit per his instructions. I did it. It works but the speedo is reading twice as high. He says he can up the divisor in the next chip.
Right now I'm experiencing detonation at low rpms in 2nd gear and up. I need to check the base timing. If that's ok, then I'll try colder plugs. The detonation is causing code 43 knock sensor. Now that my speedo is working that means I wired up the VSS correctly so I shouldn't get that code anymore.
So yes, I was able to eliminate the Dakota Digital SG-1 from the equation.
Yes folks, the '7730 can accept input from the F40 and drive the Fiero speedometer with a simple circuit.  [This message has been edited by lou_dias (edited 06-23-2010).]

So a couple of weeks ago, it caught fire in the engine bay. Burned wires near MAP sensor, the sensor itself, the vaccuum tube, and part of the harness including atleast one injector wiring pair.
I waiting from the word from Darthfiero to ship it to him.

Turns out the fire was coming from my valve covers out around the breathers.
Too much fuel in the oil.
I discovered some open wires was keeping 1 bank of injectors on. Fixed. Then turns out I had 2 bad injectos as well dumping fuel regardless.
Well, time to see if Darth can get the divisor right so that the '7730 can translate the VSS from the F40 and drive the Fiero speedo...

Now all you have to do is hope that the level of fuel saturation in the oil wasn't enough to damage the bearings before it caught fire due to insuficient lubrication properties. Shouldn't be much diffrent than the 40k mile Ford Ranger I happened across after Jiffy Lube lost track of what they were doing and allowed it to leave their shop with engine flush in it a day earlier.

Lou, have you swapped over to a heated o2 sensor yet?

I do sense an extra tick where as this motor used to idle quiet once it's warm. Maybe it's just a lifter and will work itself out. I can hope, right?
No I haven't changed to a heated O2. I had all sorts of fueling problems, so now that those are gone, let's see if I still get a code 43.
Thanks.

Finally! Something that makes sense!
My random no iginition issues may be due to a bad crank position sensor. That shouldn't be too hard to replace...

Be sure you buy a quality part here as cheap crank sensors are about like cheap ignition modules.
