I would look at the hose from the throttle plate to the MAF sensor. Sometimes the torque of the engine in gear twists enough to open up a crack in the hose and introduce false air ( vac leak).

Those are neat little cars, there are few around the Chicago area that have had V8 conversions including one with an LS in it.

Cammer,
I appreciate your reply but I am not planning on a restoration. I just want to get it running and drive it to work.

Well if you DO buy it, there's a place about 5 minutes from me called www.thefierofactory.com. It's in north Alabama (Harvest). Nice kid owns the place-he bought it from the old guy who built the business after working there for several years. He's got several acres full of nothing but Fieros, and will ship used parts. Does a lot of the Cadillac 4.5 V8 conversions, but would probably have anything you need to get 'er going. There's also a pretty informative forum on his site.

I like the Fieros as well, especially the GT's..

Gulliver,
Thanks for the link. I am about 6 hrs south. If I do get the car I may have to make a yard run!

A friend of mine had a fiero gt back in the 90's and that thing handled corners really good. Hope you can get it for a decent price.

I wasn't able to make a deal with the owner. He wanted $850 and I offered him $450. He wouldn't come down any so I told him I would have to pass.
Thanks for all the help and Mods, you can move or delete this post.

And, thanks mods for letting me keep this thread here.
