Thanks Norm for another great video. Question, is there a way to test the ignition pick up? That would be some things else to eliminate, along with the bad ground. Keep up the good work...

You can test all the other components, and that leaves the module as the culprit. In our town Autozone ( supposedly) can test them, but a corroded module would test “bad.” So clean it and try it first, then test it if necessary. Clean before you test !

I'm about to purchase my first Fiero, the owner claims it's just the coil. That's actually why I watched your video. Is there anything else I should look out for on these vehicles? Thank you

Greeting Norman, at 3:00 I see you talk about ground, but is it really grounded like that? On new coils, it's all painted and when I remove the heat shield, the area where the 2 bolts are for the coil to be mounted is coated in paint too? I hope you still respond, because this video is 2 years old, best regards

@@cruzenoob1422 absolutely! The ground is very important , on cars with painted metal surfaces the factory often uses star washers to create a ground by cutting into the metal

@@normanpaulife thanks for the fast reply, Ok I didn't know that, since I saw the connector has 2 pins I just assumed its + and -. I looked at mine and there were no such washers, it's just the 2 screws holding the plate down. I'll try and remove the paint where all the mettal parts come in contact, maybe my fiero will fire up then :D

Mine had this issue. Mine was a striped wire that when wet from weather it wouldn't start.

Just bought 86 but the car haven’t run in over 5 years so I’ve had change the fuel pump and fuel filter and new distributor cab and wires and there’s spark when you crank it but won’t start? Any suggesting

Have you checked for spark ? The simplest way is use the coil wire and spare plug if you have one. If you have spark, you might try priming the engine with fuel in the intake. If the car has sat for many years - it’s most likely fuel related , but the ignition module is all completely within reason. The Fiero is very reliable car and I find it easy to fix . I have a long history with them , feel free to ask questions

I should’ve mentioned. Are your spark plugs wet ? That’s two signs , yes you’re getting fuel and not getting spark.
