Ok I tested the wires going to the starter and the starter is not getting power. What could be causing it not to get power Wire, Fusible Link, something else? Need ideas on what could be causing this if you have a idea please post it.
Korey

This is what I was looking at last night:



As you can see, power has to pass through the power distribution block, the ignition switch, the clutch start switch, the c500, and then the connection at the back of the solenoid. When you get a multimeter, you'll be able to check for power at each point to inductively narrow the problem down to one source.

We didn't check the power distribution block, but your interior lights are on, so there must be a healthy connection.

I'm thinking its either the switch or the starter I'm going to jump the starter in a bit and see what that does

You applied power to both the starter lug and the solenoid at the same time?

I jumped it from where the positive cable connects to on the starter to the little purple wire where it connects I'll post pics maybe that'll make it clearer

No need, I understand what you did. If that didn't work it's a safe bet the solenoid is dead. Replace the starter.

Got the starter taken off the gold car and took the GT's starter off to see if its any good.

My buddy Pat came over today and he figured the ignition switch went bad and it was so we replaced it and now we're running again

"Cancerous" egr tube, and video of engine running.

Heres the EGR tube pics the pics don't show it as bad. I've been having issues with the videos I'll have to figure out what's wrong with that

Now my car is flooding itself out. Could the cold start be the cause of this, or a injector? This is really annoying it's been one thing after another I just had to replace the starter because the other died.

Is it throwing any codes? I'm pretty sure the TPS could cause what your describing.

The car is fixed it was the coolant temp sensor and a timing issue

Called it. You still need to talk to me? I'm sorry I haven't called you back, I've been busy as hell.

Nah but from the message you left me you sounded busy

Cleaned it up this morning and then my buddy Pat came over and we figured out why it wasn't shifting. Got that fixed and put a couple miles on it with no problems. I'm very impressed with the car and this is the best its been since I got it. I also took out my GT steering wheel and put my factory one in and took off my front plate.

Paint it.

never been a fan of gold myself.

I'm going to get it painted but i'm going back with the original gold and black.

So how did it feel to be able to drive it again? Isn't that one hell of a feeling?

Its great I'm very impressed with how well the car is especially since its been down for almost a year

Still running great had to put my other wheels on till I get tires for the GT wheels. I also replaced the GT steering wheel with my original one.

Down to one Fiero again

The GT is leaving tomorrow so tomorrow there will be officially one Fiero in the yard woo

Got some horns off a 87 Firebird at the yard today and got the horns on my car working again. The ones I got off the Firebird sound so much better than the original ones that were on the car. I'm still debating on getting a airhorn for the car but I don't know what I want to do yet. I'm also wanting to get my car painted since I sold the GT so hopefully I will have a new gold and black paint job on the car.

Updated pics

That is one fine looking gold notchie!
