Sadly it was the head light motor module. One of the mosfets was cooked. Hoping to come across another at the bone yard to replace the spare.

Took the car for a few miles of tuning, sooooo much better now! 
I'm at the a/c shop were they are fabbing up the new manifold that will hook the lines together. Looking promising so far.

I met up with you some years back, at a Fiero meet, when you were just starting on this car. Very cool to see you have got in on the road!!!

Thank you!
It has been quite awhile. Was it Just you, me and Roland (and possibly his daughter) in the rain? That's the last get together I've been to that I can recall. It's been several years or more...

It was the Mt. Lemon trip. You drove your 87. My son and I went in my 88Gt 4.9. He is a Jr. and high school now and it painting the car for me and adding an engine vent.
I don't recall the last meet I went to. Before 2010 or so.
Is the Phoenix group still meeting?

Wow, that was quite awhile ago. I remember my fuel pump acting up and having troubles getting up the hill...
It is great that your son is helping out with your car. Hopefully you two will get to enjoy it for years to come.
I saw on a thread in General chat that there was a couple of Phoenix get-to-gethers late last year and early this year. I am not sure if there will be anymore before late fall.

Hi Charley -
'Glad to see you got your car running good. I rode with you on youtube on your tuning drive and it sure sounds good! I'm waiting for the day when you can post a full- throttle run through the gears. I'll never experience that in my little V-6 Fiero. Now I'm waiting to see your car "in person".

Hi Pete-
To add a little to what Charlie told you - Kevin, "Kee588T", has been organizing some get-togethers. You can find the history over in the General Fiero Chat under "How many of us in Phoenix, or in Arizona?". The most recent was in February and was attended by Kevin, Rowland, Don, Mike, Ron, and Steve (in a Firebird). I'm the new guy in the bunch, Kevin is the only one who I've met, so I'm looking forward to making some of the future events and meeting you and Charley and some more of the PFF gang. 'Hope this helps. (Sorry I hijacked your post, Charley.)
- Jim

Hi Jim, not a hijack, thank you for helping with info for Pete. With the higher temps just around the corner, I'd be surprised to see any more gatherings until after Halloween when things start to cool off again. Even though my car seems to be drivable now, it's still a work in progress until the tuning is satisfactory and I get some of the booboo's I did to the paint touched up. After that it will be just standard maintenance I hope. Oh, and after I get the a/c lines completed and the system charged. It will be interesting to see if it can handle making cold air on a hot day without overheating.

Hopefully one last fix to the wiring harness. When I checked the harness I did not go further with the IAC wires than to verify they were in the correct pin slots at the computer. What I did not check and did not know was the correct pin slots at the IAC plug. It turns out 2 of the wires were reversed. Needless to say, the IAC is not working... Now that I have it figured out, I can correct the harness and replace the IAC valve with the NOS one from the Shelby throttle body. Hopefully that will happen soon, then maybe we can finish the a/c lines.
