It is supposed to get down to 21* here tonight, and 19* tomorrow night. I went outside and drained the coolant system, and added one & 2/3 gallons of green Prestone antifreeze. I have an air bubble in it a the temperature went right up to 259 and I have no heat. I will let it cool down and raise the rear up about a foot and go threw the burping again. I had a good working cooling system, and a working heater before today.

Hey Joe,
The weather is tough on these Fiero's. I drove the Chop Top around front this evening and when I got out and walked around it, it was "bleeding" green. I think the rad hose was so cold, it would not seal. I was able to put 4 full turns on the hose clamp! Supposed to be a record low of 8* here tomorrow night. 20 and snowing out there right now.

9am here and it is only 21* supposed to be back in the low 70's by the weekend.
I took a drop light and put it underneath the car yesterday afternoon. The temperature was 34 underneath the engine at 930pm. I am thinking everything will be OK in the freezing department.
Keep your poiwder dry, and warm.

Drove about 50 miles here today. This is a real fun car to drive now. All is well, heater works fine from about 140* on the scanner. I estimate I am getting about 27 MPG. I got a SES light on the way back home. The car went out of closed loop and a Code 13. Sensor or circuit? After clearing the code, it came back after about 6 -7 minuets. While the code was clear, it went back into closed loop. [This message has been edited by josef644 (edited 02-07-2011).]

That doesn't happen very often. Its warmer here in Oregon. 
E13 = O2 sensor.
A loss of this signal will deffinately put back to open loop. Which one you running?

Nooooooooooooooo. Rockauto doesn't have any!! I order 2 from them recently. Both were Bosch sensors in Delco boxes. I then had them check their stock in the warehouse. The entire case they have are the same way. They are all Bosch sensors.
Order the Walker or Denso instead. They work just as well as a true delco but are better priced. Both are WAY better then the bosch you would end up getting.

Just so you know, Autozone carries the Denso O2 sensor (part #234-2001) for $22.99 which is
only $2 more than RockAuto. Unless you're ordering other stuff to make the shipping
worth while, you'll probably be better off at Autozone (plus you'll get another $20 credit
toward your $20 gift card...assuming your in the Autozone frequent shopper program  ).[This message has been edited by BigGuyTinyCar (edited 02-09-2011).]

I was gonna get the DENSO one from them. They sell it, and every other brand made I guess.

Oops. Read that as Delco. Denso, Delco, whatever. Sorry Joe!
