I was going to try and go the Cars and Coffee in Augusta this morning, but this morning the Fiero wasn't idling right. Above 2K rpm the Fiero ran okay. Lower than that it would idle a few seconds a 1K rpm and then jump up to 1500 rpm and the engine would turn off. I checked the plug wires this morning and drove test it around the neighborhood. It was still doing the same thing. I removed the positive lead from battery hoping to reset the computer and that it might work. Drove it again and same thing was happening. Let the motor cool off and I was going to take off the intake manifold to check the vacuum lines. I had replaced the vacuum lines with the stainless steel ones from Rodney Dickmans. One of the lines was not connected. After reconnecting the vacuum line and reseting the computer, she was driving again until Ci Ci's pizza incident.
With having the 4T60 transmission in and working, I drove it today with the wife. We went to Ci Ci's pizza. mmm... After we ate, the car started up and we started to leave and it quit on me. Ugh, Charlie Brown. Called AAA and they gave us a 2 hour time frame. Wow, 2 hours for a tow truck. We waited about 45 minutes and I got the Fiero running. I think I may need to replace the TCC solenoid. The last TCC solenoid I had to replace in the TH125 tranmission was doing the same problem with not starting once it was hot or quitting on me while driving. I don't need to repeat this all over again with the 4T60 transmission after today.
