Nice! Nobody wants to have a sick Fiero at Christmastime Good luck on gettin' your car back! Hope the heater works!! It's been coooooollllld in the Northern tips of the U.S.!!
2 Seat Garage came to the rescue. Intake gaskets were gone! PCV was shot. The round seals in the intake between it and the super, one was shot. Valve cover gaskets were junk. Thermostat housing needed repair And more, And I havent had the car a year yet!. They found an exhaust leak and a missing nut on the exhaust.
Thanks Joe & Brian

You are very welcome! It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife. Thank you for your hospitality during our visit. We were glad to be able to get you back on the road.
I have no idea what "advantage" the previous owner of your car thought he was getting by running a 70/30 coolant mixture, colloidal copper and water wetter in a stock 3800SC. Some peoples kids........ Again, Merry Christmas!
Next project with 2 Seat Garage will be to check the sleeves as I cant find any problem, but another set of eyes may spot what I cant. and see why scanners are not working on the ALDL connector.

olejoedad the PM I sent was about run ability. The engine seems to be running better. Better than it ever has. No spark knock like I had from day one when under full acceleration or even half throttle acceleration. Makes one wonder how long the intake gaskets were leaking air, coolant, oil and or a combination of the 3. Coolant level is good. Oil is clean and level is good. I am checking it daily. PO said the engine had about 80k on it when I bought the car from him. Boy the original factory intake gaskets are junk. What a difference the new Fel Pros with metal are compared to GM OEM. Looks like I will be in the Kalamazoo area every Friday delivering florist supplies now! There is a route to the Jackson area that would be close to you, but they haven't sent me on that run yet. Still looking for a full time job. Unemployment with the state is done and EUC with the Feds didn't get renewed so it ends which leaves me with out any. Gonna be fun for a while. LOL
Thanks again,
Steve
