My 4th Fiero, My first 2.8 V6. I have A LOT of questions (Page 4/6)

Have you had a look at all the spark plugs? Might help to determine what each cylinder is doing.

A bit off topic... but is everyone else also noticing that embedded images in forum posts are not showing up today?

They were broken. Then fixed now they seem broken again. I told you I was going to run Cliff out of disk space


Edit:

OMG i just realized Cliff finally enabled HTTPS!!! Woooo go Cliff. All images are http and browsers are not liking that is my guess.

I don't understand the significance of HTTPS... but I notice the images all open just fine if "Open image in new tab" is selected.

Because the site is now HTTPS browsers will refuse to load insecure or HTTP content that is trying to be displayed on the site. This is done so you do not have privacy leaks in your secure section. This is called mixed content. https://developer.mozilla.o...ck-all-mixed-content

This above standard became outdated when browsers decided to just automatically block mixed content. I included it as reference.

Apologies to Curly for going off on a bit of a tangent here, but this is something that's now affecting us all and needs to be resolved.

This is a bit over my head... but is making the PFF image server somehow "secure" a solution to this issue?

Interesting that the image in This post still displays just fine, even though it's also hosted at a non-secured site.

Plugs, wires, coil, dis cap, dis rotor coming tomorrow.

Just did a pressure test on the fuel system. 45 PSI on key on (pump kick in) 37 PSI running, then leaked down to 25 PSI slowly over the course of 30 minutes, then I had to make dinner so I just unhooked everything and put it away.

When I attached the gauge on the fuel rail it was spraying fuel everywhere and it had been sitting for hours at that point so there was pressure there. By the time I got the gauge on it read 10 PSI. One click of the key and it shot up to 45 PSI and stayed there until I started it.

Yeah Sorry Curly.. however good post publicity

I was looking at that image and it occured to me that i am noticing the warning about insecure items in my browser. So perhaps im off base or it depends on browser settings. It loads fine on my laptop. Could be some redirect issues in the code as well? Im sure Cliff is on it and is more than capable of sorting it.

If you try to open an image as HTTPS it bricks.
Tech is my thing so i like playing the wild speculation game while someone else is trying to solve the actual issue.

Probably should just move this to a different thread.

[EDIT] Curiosity has gotten the best of me, and I've come across this diagram... supposedly of a pre-recall Fiero 2.8 PCV system. I have never ever (in 22 years of being here) seen a photo (rather than an illustration) of this type of setup where the firewall tube connects to the underside of the snorkel. Very strange. My '86 GT has the firewall tube (now capped on one end) connected to the filter canister. It was never at any time attached to a snorkel. It's nowhere near where the metal tube pictured above is located. Perhaps there were two different styles of pre-recall metal firewall tubes?






Um you adamantly told me I was wrong when I said that in my first post. Now you're saying "*perhaps* there were two different styles of pre-recall metal firewall tubes" even though it has been confirmed by the 22P?

Me: "The reason there's some confusion on the unplugged tube running along the firewall, is there were two different designs. The early design the metal tube plugged into the intake snorkel. The later design plugged into the side of the air filter canister.

During the recall, if memory serves, the early design snorkel was replaced with a new snorkel that had no inlet for that metal pipe. Thus the pipe was open on either end and didn't need to be capped.

You: I believe you're mistaken. "

The only thing I was unsure of was how the recall handled the two designs. I wasn't unsure about the fact there were two designs.

Ok. Used my fancy fancy scanner. Friend gave me. No codes. Stayed in open loop for a long time. Longer than a 4 cylinder. Then was popping in and out of closed loop a lot, then settled down. Again 4 cylinders running good don't do this. At least I haven't seen it. This scanner is new to me so it could be that too.

Once warm O2 sensor voltage was staying between .45 and .60. According to the manual a properly running engine should be jumping between .200 and .800.

Gonna PB blast all the plugs and redo all of the ignition this weekend.
