so,, what happened? ... for all we know you just ran out of gas :) I rebuilt the Iron duke in my fiero bored it 30 over and put in a comp cam, that gets 25mils a gal now.
I think so, gives it some more "get up and go". I can spin the tires really good. What I need next are some 17" rims and the Getrag 5-speed, with the 4-speed I have now the engine really revs when I go 100mph.
i have an 88 with tech4 and a five speed. its bone stock though. i couldnt find much for exhuast for the car, so im going to put a cut off valve right before the cat. can you say loud?
did you order your cam from summit? im looking at thier site and they say hydrualic flat tappet cam, and my motor doesnt have a flat tappet, its a roller.
The neutral start switch on an auto is on the driver's side of the transmission, where the shifter linkage is connected. Don't know where it is on manuals.
There's some electrical connection plugged into it. I unplugged it and shorted some pins to (apparently) defeat it. I hardly remember doing it so I don't remember what those pins were. I think this ultimately didn't fix it.
I later wired up a new starter button directly from the starter.
If you got a Fiero these days better to know how to fix it or fixing it can cost more than the car.

That's happened to me too. Right after cross-country, so I was all hot and sweaty. AAA took a while to get there too.

Reminds me of the frustrations I had with my neutral start switch.
I finally got fed up and bypassed it with a starter button.

Is that what that white plastic button thing is down by the clutch? That depressed when you let off the clutch?

Don't know - mine's an automatic.

what was wrong with it?

The Starter suffered from heat soak. It would pull way to much current when it was hot.
Slapped in a new one with a some heat shielding and shes fine now.
Im keeping this baby forever..
