I think we already had the wiper arms and cowl off.

Not complaining.  They did not rush, and the price was set beforehand.  Actually, they hung around for a bit afterward, ostensibly to be sure the black goo set, but watching us work.  Most of their time on the windshield was with a heat gun.

It failed inspection.  The horn didn't work.  Sigh.  I guess I don't usually check that.

Also, we got some washer or something on wrong on the e-brake on one side, resulting in the equalizer (new) not working.  Did I mention that we replaced the e-brake cable?  Well, we did.

Never had a coil break in the middle, only at the tip.  What did this one do?

I haven't seen it, but it sounded like at the top.  I know that corner did not sit right, so no surprise there.

The mechanic says the engine that is in the Fiero is not the factory engine--or even a Fiero engine.  He says this engine came from something else, which is why a lot of the parts are wrong.  I don't know how to tell, but that would explain a lot.  The cradle clearly had been out, previously.

Shop replaced part of the wiring harness.  I gathered that this was between the ECU and the engine.  This may have happened last week, while the engine was out.  Fiero still in shop.

Is it possibly a Quad 4?  Any pictures of the engine?  There should be some casting numbers or letters on the block that would help identify it.

I was going to take pics, the day I drove it to the shop, but the kid wants to showcase this one himself.

This thing is no powerhouse.  It's been a while since I've seen a Quad 4, but I'm fairly sure it's an L4.
