OK quick intro.
Pics and short video's can be found at http://www.captfiero.com/cadero
Car is an 85GT with a 5spd Stick, Centerforce Clutch, 4.9 from a 93 Elderodo dual O2 setup. Using a custom Chip with the "Fast Chips" fuel and timing maps.
Car setup is like I said an 85GT Fiero.:bouncy:
Mid Engine, transverse mount rear wheel drive, 4 wheel disk brakes, 4 wheel independent suspension, 245/50/16's in the back and 225/50/16's in the front.
I have got a bunch of rather unique issues that hopefully ya all can help me sort out.
First off The old stock O2 sensors were old so I bought a pair of brand new NTK O2 sensors with the correct plugs. Well as soon as I got them in I noticed that on the scan tool, the voltage on the O2's are pretty much flat at 444mv the cross counts are down to like 2-6. They are located about 5" from the manifolds so location should not be a problem. The exhaust on my car is rather short. It is approximately 36"s yes 3ft from the down pipe to the Tip where it exits. The car will drop back into open loop at idle which is strange but I am told it is not un-common. What do you guys recomend for good O2 sensors.:thumbsup:
I have had a hell of an issue with the idle down procedure. It does not want to drop to idle until I am below 5-10mph. Which is really annoying especially when I am out cruising along in 5th and the car wants to cruise along without me touching the gas. Anyone got any good tips.
It looks like many of you guys swap out the OEM injectors for the Mustang ones. Which I just happen to have because it is also a common swap in the Fiero's. I have a set of perfect 19# orange top injectors kicking around. Is there any real benefit to using them.
Oh I could go on for a while with other odd questions about swapping the Allante intake and the Delta Hot Cam for the 4.9 but I think I need to get the car running right before I hit up all the mods.:bouncy:
And before anyone asks, yep the car runs like a raped ape with a firecracker up his butt scaring all the Ricerized Hondas and other Imports every day of the week.:cloud9:
