We're here to help prevent you from getting discouraged.

You're so close.  Not that a Fiero project is ever done, but this particular part is almost done.

I'm a bit frustrated, too, but I will persevere!

Do you still have an ICM under the coil pack?  Is it the same one as stock?

The base for the coil cartridges is the icm. It wires right up to the existing fiero wiring.  You just have to advance the spark reference to 60° to tell the ecm where to calculate the spark hits.

The mounting plate with 3 bolts is the ICM?

Holy cow!  I hope they don't fail often.  I don't want to have to carry 2 of those around.

My understanding is that the dis icm failure rate is pretty low.
It mostly outlasts the wiring around it. Here's a diagnostic pdf for it. Pretty simple.

How is yours coming?  Mine started, no codes, but we'll see after it goes into closed loop and gets driven.  The car is still on jackstands, with no wheels on it.

Unless it's supported by the suspension on the rear, DO NOT by any means put it into gear and let the axles spin.  You can destroy the CV joint, especially the one on the driver's side.  The drop in the suspension puts a sharp angle on the short drive axle and the CV joint can be damaged.  This holds true for the manual transmission cars, as well.  Due to the shorter right side axle of the automatic, it might also be damaged.

Yeah, I saw pictures somewhere of that having happened to someone.

Actually, the correct name is the Tri-pot.  The inboard joint.

If it's a competition, I'm open to it as long as it's friendly and there are clear ground rules that we both agree on.
1) starting now,
2) must be 7730 controlled, three solenoid type egr,
3) must be complete in installation and working before considered complete to win.
4) programming the 7730 can be done by whatever source you choose (mail order tune or tuned personally). 

I don't know if I should consider mine a success or a failure, but it's running.

Here's a pic:


It's controlled by a 7730, is the 3-solenoid EGR
It's complete in installation and the EGR is working
