I have an 86 2.8, it seems to idle fine but has absolutely no power when driving. I have been chasing this for some time, but recently discovered that the front bank of spark plugs don't look like they are firing. As stated above, the car idles fine and doesn't seem to be missing, even when driving, it just lacks power. I just replaced the plugs and after driving the car pulled them out, the front bank still looks brand new and the rear bank is clearly used. Any ideas?

Check ur injector fuses under the dash. There is one for each bank. Five amp if I recall correctly.

That was the fix! I had a feeling it was going to be something simple that I overlooked. Thanks!

Haha glad that fixed it. I had the same problem before and it drove me nuts trying to figure it out. Never forgot it either!

Thank you. I just got a fiero and it was doing the same thing. I would of never guessed that they used twe fuses for the fuel injection system. This thing has a farrari f355 body kit installed but far from completed. I would post a picture but I dont see a spot to insert an image.Thanks again.Steve.

Use the syntax

[img]http://www.packersproshop.com/pi/2004090205_37_13_350.jpg[/img}

but replace the last bracket with a square one. Also if your image's URL starts with https://... just delete the s - ie http://...

Looks like the AC works!

Nice project and nice trailer.
