Hmmm, isn't it illegal to have no side marker lights and the front plate in the wind shield?

I wish you luck driving around like that! I know some cops are pretty anal about small things

As for the marker lights, I'm not done yet and I can always modify things more if there is a problem.
Yes, I've already been stopped and given a bogus "improper left turn" ticket as a way for them to check everything out.
Here's a shot of the plate recess mounted - that's probably a "grey" area there but then again so is the nitrous kit.




Another option could be under the driver's indicator light like Eclipse did here:




However I do agree, I have to run a front plate - any other ideas where to locate?
BTW - I never thought this thread would get 10 pages long!
Thanks for the input everyone as most of the body mods have had forum member influence

Well some bad news as the car stranded me in front of the LCBO today - at least I didn't go thirsty

I obviously haven't solved the no start when hot condition.
Might be grounds or fuel vapor lock or ignition or who knows?
I do have a GM Tech 1 ODBI scanner but I don't think it's going to help with this problem.
Anyways time to research what possible solutions could be and in the meantime work on the other project.

So I got it home tonight with a boost once the engine had cooled.
The battery is weak, so it's going on the charger for tonight.

The engine was warm when I got home (about a 10 min drive up the highway).
I tried to start it immediately after shutting it off and it just cranked and cranked and didn't even come close to starting.
So I did a few checks:

1. Removed the breather / air filter to eliminate a clogged filter - did not start so reattached.
2. Added an engine to battery negative ground cable and tested for start - did not start.
3. Tested fuel pressure at the schrader valve - 47psi with key turned on, 45psi while cranking and 41psi after key off - all in 41-47psi spec.
4. Sprayed Quik start on K&N filter and then cranked - it started.

This makes me think it's a fuel problem and not a spark issue?

After a full battery charge tomorrow I am thinking I should change the fuel filter and test the fuel injectors for operation and leakage.
Any other suggestions?

Using the search feature seems to suggest Ignition Control Module - (that I just changed).
Other suggestions were the CTS (coolant temp sensor) or ECM heat.
I can try keeping the cover off the ECM in the trunk and replace the CTS in the waterpump.
I also tried disconnecting the MSD box altogether but the car still did not start when warm.
Does anyone think the coil is the problem? (although it starts and runs fine when cold).

My DeLorean had this problem and it was a fuel accumulator, it a part right off the fuel pump. But as far as I know the Fiero has no such part. The reason for the no hot start was fuel pressure would bleed off when warm and sitting. But I do not know for sure what you cars problem is.

Edit ** help me out, with all the different colors going on, i can't tell is that a notchback rear bumper or an aero one ??

Hi
The bumper pad rear bumper was replaced with an aero one from an 85GT.
