Couldn't find a DENSO 234-2001 local, so I ordered one from RockAuto.com. It's on the way

Went to Livingston in the Coupe this morning. About 15 miles each way. I had the scanner connected up while on the trip. The SES light came on two times. One time Ii was sorta glancing at the scanner when it lost the O2 sensor readings. They dropped down to nothing, then came back a few seconds later. I was not able to get in to 'Closed Loop' today. Engine temperature was up around 189- 195*F most of the trip. New O2 sensor will be here Monday.

I replaced the headlight module this morning. I had removed it a few months ago when I was having problems with my battery going dead. Took the O2 sensor connector apart, and re connected it. My Code 13 is gone now. I went into CLOSED LOOP at about 162 degrees. Short 10 mile trip this morning.
Found antifreeze dripping out of my heater core on some papers I had in the floor boards.
Heater core ordered.[This message has been edited by josef644 (edited 02-13-2011).]

Just when you think you have it figured out, something else shows up. Keep after it Joe!

My 'Wonderful World' of "Fiero" today included a heater hose clamp letting loose and the loss of about 1 1/2 gallons of anti freeze on the rear of the engine and transmission. I must of seen it in my rear view mirror just as it came loose. Nothing was damaged except for my pocket book. I called a neighbor to come and get me about 3 miles from home. 30 minuets later I was back on the way home. Garage stinks now.
Heater core and O2 sensor are both here. Might get to install them tomorrow.[This message has been edited by josef644 (edited 02-15-2011).]

Got my old heater core removed today. Ran ou tof time as I had other things I needed to get done before dark. I'll get the new one in tomorrorw. Installed a new inside door handle bezel for my power door lock button would be in the correct place.

Went out this morning and finished installing the heater core. The one I got from RockAuto was a Spectra brand. Autozone also sells this brand for about two times the money. It is about 7/16" shorter then the one I removed. The hardest part was keeping it all the way back where the metal retaining strap went around the core's end without slipping off.
While finishing up I noticed this:
Always things to repair/replace when one owns a Fiero!!!

Burped the cooling system this morning and installed the new O2 Denso sensor. Took a nice 20 mile trip around the area. Temperature is 78* F , and the coolant temperature stayed a bit higher at 197* , or in that area. I got up to 207* once an a short traffic stoppage coming back in my sub division. I turned on the AC, and the temperature dropped back to 197 pretty quickly.
I am thinking about starting to remove some of the body panels for refininhing.

Wow Joe! That door hinge looks pretty bad. If you can't find one locally, let me know. I have a few laying around in the shed. Yours for the shipping.
