Aerodonamic Work Session

[MikeMac]

Can we put the Aerodonamic car on the back burner and get Deshoe's car going? I believe he wants to go on TRFH this year. The brakes are still crappy after front rotors and pads and it's running rich. I really need some assistance on his car. Bob has been more than patient with me. Maybe we can work on both?

[Raydar]

I think I still have my timing light. Anything else?

[Raydar]

Mike, what are you going to do with Fan's car?
I still don't mind looking at it, but I don't have room to keep it.

Have the O-2 and Coolant Temperature Sensors been replaced?

Have the O-2 and Coolant Temperature Sensors been replaced?

On Bob's car?
I'll bring my scan tool. We'll likely be able to tell if one of the sensors is borked.

[GTRS Fiero]

Dunno if I should be happy or sad that Mike's shop is selling.

[MikeMac]

Mike, what are you going to do with Fan's car?
I still don't mind looking at it, but I don't have room to keep it.

We are a  month and a half from the proposed sale date and then I have a window of time to sell off inventory and clear out. I'm not shutting down until the check is in my hand. I don't trust my Landlords in the least.

They haven't. It idles better after cleaning the throttle body this afternoon but still smells rich to me.

[GTRS Fiero]

Out of curiosity, what injectors are in it?

[GTRS Fiero]

How'd the work session go?

[Slyp]

Great.  And lunch was better......

[GTRS Fiero]

Lunch?  What happened for lunch?

DeShoe treated us to Old Hickory House barbecue. (Been ~30+ years since I've eaten at OHH.) Thank you sir!

According to the timing light, it appears that the timing was waaaay advanced from where it should have been. (I'm surprised it didn't ping like hell, that way. But whatever... )
Once it was set to spec (+/-) it seemed to idle a lot better. Bob said it "ran like a striped ape". or words to that effect.
The fuel pump suddenly sounds like a dentist drill, but everything seems to work well. Mike is going to drive it around this weekend, to make sure it's happy. (The pulsator was removed, so that might have something to do with it. Or it may have shifted since it was installed. Hard to say. For comparison, my Fiero's fuel pump sounds like a Cessna, and it's been fine for over a year.)

The injectors appear to not be stock. Instead of a completely black body, the "discharge" end is silver. So who knows? Maybe the Fiero Store "Tomco" injectors.
Regardless... Bob said it used to run fine on those injectors, so I have a hard time believing that they suddenly started causing problems, out of the blue.
Mike poured a can of SeaFoam into a half of a tank of gas. That concentration should take care of any injector issues that occurred from sitting.

I had to look up Old Hickory House BBQ.  Never heard of it before.  Not here.  Found one in Tucker.

[Fierofool]

That's the one.  Northlake Parkway.  It's been years since I've been there, too.  Thank you, Bob.  BBQ is probably my Nr. 1 favorite food away from home.
