Great news Joe! I can't answer intelegently about the coolant sensor. But I am sure you are on the right track. Glad to hear the car is driving again - Gotta love that 4.9 torque!

Found and repaired a bad connection on one of my solder joints. All is Golden today.
Ya might want to think about having Stickpony' do you a chip. Solves a lot of problems .
I was running only 1800 RPM at 70 MPH yesterday afternoon after I fixed the coolant wiring snag.
Tomorrow I plan on using some duct tape to hold down the ALDL wire, and the lighter socket wires before mounting the rear console inside the car. I can then add the shift surround and the automatic shifter bezel and the ashtrays. I have a fine leather automatic shift knob that will finally get put into the car.[This message has been edited by josef644 (edited 01-12-2011).]

Is this radio installation a plug and play type of deal or does is require modification?
My car has an aftermarket stereo and I can't stand tiny little buttons and lack of a clock.

Not sure about the plug an play part but you can pick these up on Flea Bay with an MP# jack installed. Joe can tell you all about the wiring and installation.

Plug and Play not quite. I had wired my car to accept the newer style GM connector. There are adapters that you can purchase to make it plug and Play. You will also need the adapter for the antenna as the one in the Fiero is a bit to large to plug in to the antenna hole in the rear of the radio. You can go to http://replacementradios.co..._261&products_id=166 and purchase everything you need to make it work in your Fiero. The owner is a Fiero guy and will be happy to help you with any questions.
Good Luck with your new Ride

Thanks. It may be a moot point. I discovered my car's stereo does indeed have a clock. Just had to get out my microscope
to see the button to show it. I can probably live with small buttons as long as it has a clock.

I took a nice 102 mile trip around Lake Livingston today. This is my first trip more than 10 miles away from my home. All went smooth. The car starts good and performs excellent. Pretty well stays at 192*-196* F while driving around. I am not real happy about the noise level inside the car when driving. I guess quiet is a trade off for torque. I was also put off a bit by the speed of the fuel gauge dropping as I drove.

Removed the speedo cluster and reconnected the necessary wires for the SES light to work. I had cut the wire before I took it in for the first inspection. I should have fixed this the same day. Now I have the EPROM working correctly, so the SES light is not on and off blinking like a turn signal.

About 30 effortless miles today. Rain back sometime tomorrow. My seatbelt light is on all the time now while driving. I have never seen this before. I need to snap the seatbelt and see if the light goes out. [This message has been edited by josef644 (edited 01-29-2011).]
