I've got the same situation with my thermo. I was told it "had" to be used with the chip from stickpony (which I'm no longer using )With the 180 therm the car does not heat fully up on my commute. Figured I'd pick up a 195 this weekend. Just out of curosity, did you have the second fan switch setup also on yours? My second PCM fan output is setup 10 degrees higher. I think I'll wire in a winter/summer switch for easy changes between the 2 outputs.



Yeah, I have the lower temp fan switch. I'm changing everything back to 195 though. It's what the ECM and engine were designed to run at. Here in WA, not an issue anyway summer or winter.

I got four injectors in the mail today. It's just to nasty, (33* outside), to go out and check them out. I remove the old screen filters before I put them into the Ultrasonic cleaner. I have 25% chance of having at least one good one in that box. One will do!!!!!!. If I can get this going I'll add the fuel rail and throttle body back to the engine Sunday or Monday. Its supposed to be in the 50's again by Sunday afternoon.

I was able to test these injectors today. 3 were working wonderfully. One was off a small bit, it didn't spray as good as the others. I plan on getting this back on the car tomorrow or Monday, and see if she will fire up and run off of the injectors. I am gonna clean two of these in the Ultrasonic cleaner for two hours tomorrow before re-assembly.

I removed an outter CV shaft for V8 Archie a while ago. I have two of the injectors that tested best in hot water now , inside the Ultrasonic cleaner. I am going to clean them for about two hours, then blow them off . Tomorrow I will replace the injectors and rails on the engine. We are having a tropical heat wave here today. Supposed to get up to 45.

It isn't getting above freezing this week up here.

Keep us posted!

I popped in my 195 T-stat yesterday, ah, much better, I have cabin heat again.

I'm finally getting to my thermostat today. The car never heated above 165 degrees F. I froze on the way to work today and the gas mileage sucks without closed loop..

Its not suppose to get this cold here this early in the season. High of 36 yesterday with 20-40mph winds. Looks like we may be in for a winter like last year. Now I remember why I get so much done on the fiero over the winter.

I went outside and checked all 8 of the injectors I was planning on using. One of the two new ones that I had cleaned up yesterday evening would only back flush. It would not work top to bottom. I had to replace that one with a different one. I ran it threw the cleaner for an hour before installing it in the fuel rails. Oh, and I did trest it again before install.
Do not assume the injectors will work. Always test before installing

I replaced the injectors and the fuel rails today. Cleaned the clips and lined up the O rings. I used 5W 20 motor oil on the O rings, and in the intake holes where the injectors go.


O rings and clips on the injectors, and on the rails. Index the connectors to where you want them pointing before torquing down the six hold down bolts


And back on the intake. It only took half of the effort to seat the injectors as it did to pull them up. Real easy to do


Spent a while cleaning up my TB for instalation tomorrow.

I had to order a new throttle body gasket, so I won't try to fire it up untill tomorrow morning. No use putting the TB on, and having to remove it again tomorrow.

I added this same information on my 4.9 injector servicing thread.

In the center picture, the two injectors on the far left are two that Dean sent me. The metal band was made out of a different metal than the rest of all the injectors I had here. They didn't shine up like the rest did. They did spray real nicely though.

Oh man, I was hoping to read about how great it runs now. Go get back to work.
