Not necessarily. Take your cold start injector to Advance Auto, and go through their assortment of oil drain plugs.
Find one that resembles your CSI. I think mine came from a Honda. Be sure to use the washer, to prevent leaking.

I'm in a huge toss-up whether to do this or not while I'm swapping valve covers. Thanks for the how-to.

I can tell you right now that in my 35* garage my car starts in what seems to be the same cranking time as it did before. I'm sure it is a little slower, but at least for me it was nothing drastic at all.

Swapped out the relay and things work as expected.
Thanks to all who chimed in.
I did not think the relay was the issue but apparently it was.
Zach, thanks for trying to send the plug.
When you do get the chance to resend it I will PM you when I get it.

Thanks for the feedback, and being in MA you're in a climate similar to me.
Question about the freeze plug, is it just friction fit when you hammer it in? I just don't see any threads in the photo of where the injector goes.

The hole you see in the side of the lower intake manifold in the first picture I posted is where it goes. The distributor is right near it. And yea freeze plugs are a press fit type deal.

Haha I am a mechanical engineering student at WPI so I get little sleep. You sleep when you can on the busiest days, went to bed at 4am, woke up at 6am, took a nap from 5pm to 7pm... Also I work crazy hours when I work on the fiero, I usually do a 20 hr work day if on a time crunch. I have been outside at 4 am before wrestling with the engine on the gantry trying to get it back into the transmission...

I'm having a serious issue where my car will not start up, and runs rich when i hold the pedal to the floor. I believe this is the problem. What should I do to troubleshoot the csi?
