Are the injectors actually pulsing? Get a stethoscope or use a screwdriver to see if you can hear them clicking.
Also, if the injectors sat for a while after running gasoline with added ethanol, there's a strong possibility that they're stuck. If you use a noid light and confirm electrical pulses to the injectors, but don't hear them clicking, then this is what's happened.
If you're using the '94 ignition with the coil pack and plug wires, then you can get spark from the coil pack without having the ECM hooked up at all.

ok ill check for sound. I need to figure out which wires need to be hooked up for the engine to start, besides the obvious ones. I dont have the park/neutral switch wire hooked up to anything. But it should think its in park that way.

Even if the bypass is not hooked up or hooked up correctly, you should get at least a 2-3 second start. It won't run but it should start and die.
I'd check those injectors as Will said. You can use a LED light hooked up to the injector wiring to see if you have juice to each injector. The LED will pulse on and off as it fires. Do that for each connector plug.

The Fiero does NOT have a tendency to do peg leg burnouts.
However, I have opened up a 282 transmission in which the diff was worn beyond repair by someone doing peg-leg burnouts with it. The interface between the side gears and the diff carrier and between the spider gears and the carrier & cross pin is not well enough lubricated to take sustained high surface speeds such as in a one wheel burnout. A friction device can act to prevent that. I say friction device because there isn't a proper LSD available for the 282 at all. |

Sticking my neck out as I'm not nearly as informed as many others here, especially Will, but doen't Quaife make one for the 282? Or is it not a "proper lsd"?

It would be a great unit if you could find one...
Quaife used to make a unit for the Isuzu transmission, but never made one for the Getrag. There was a Torsen for the Getrag, but it was always very rare and expensive.
there may still be a Quaife available for the F23.

Thanks for the clarification. Anyway I've never felt the need for one and that's with a turbo ls4 that even though I've never put more than 8 lbs boost probably lays down over 400 hp. Even as a hp junkie that's more than anyone needs in a Fiero.

alright, I just about have everything fitted and about ready to pull the engine back out. If im going to keep this engine in stock form are MLS headgaskets necessary? I was thinking about going with the northstar performance head stud kit as well, just in case I decide to do cams or headwork down the road.
On a side note I was able to get the getrag to work with the 4spd mounts and cables. Had to extend the select cable about 4 inches tho

The hype about those studs is just propaganda.
Do Timeserts, BigSerts or "Norm's" even bigger inserts. Don't do fixed studs. You'll hate yourself for it if you ever pull the engine apart again.
MLS gaskets are useful on an otherwise stock engine for reducing the piston to head (quench) clearance and raising the compression slightly.
HOWEVER, the stock head bolt torque procedure DOES NOT APPLY when using MLS gaskets.[This message has been edited by Will (edited 12-30-2014).]

okay well it sounds like I could just go with a felpro head gasket for now and use the time serts. looks like fun!
on a side note my throttle cable was toast so i pulled one out of a donor car I have and man is that quite the chore. holy cow
Also I finally found out that you have to bleed the clutch setup with the slave fully compressed. While doing this my cousin managed to bend the clutch master push rod, not to mention the pedal bracket was already bent
