Nothing against you dude and please take this constructively.. this car should have been running 3 pages ago. 3800's are about the easiest cars out there to work on. They run like no other. I went to start one that hadn't moved from a garage for over 7 years. I took a battery, 13mm and 8mm. That's all I brought. It fired up on about 2.5 cylinders. Kept it running with some throttle, then eased it up and down a few times.. Poof the remaining injectors cleared and it purred. 7 year old gas and oil. Get to it and if you need to write a list.. do so. Whatever helps you concentrate.

Also.. the security light does not blink like crazy, it always has the same speed to it. It will keep blinking if you have a fault. I doubt that's the issue... what year is the car? Anything prior to 04, automatically primes the fuel pump and sprays a little fuel into the intake to start the engine when you turn the key to on.

okay well im sorry for wasting everyones time on here

Hey man. While I understand where bill is coming from, I can also sympathise with where you're at, and there's noting wrong with that period.

6 years ago, I didn't even know how to change my oil, now I've rebuilt several engines and transmissions and fixed just about everything on my car that I bought for $200. That's not to toot my own horn, there's still plenty I don't know, I'm saying this to remind everyone that we all started somewhere.

If I was frustrated at you I wouldn't be responding, and shame on me. I think we lose track of helping those in need. You're trying, and in my book, that's enough. (Plus ya know, you've got a fuel rail and alternator from me so I feel a bit responsible! Haha)

Just keep working at it and posting! I know I'll keep trying till it's fixed!

Man. I've always wanted a fiero! Can't wait to see a thread on that!

And yup. My grandfather was a mechanic, but he died before I was around so I'm with you there! My dad's into carpentry, which is cool, but no so useful on cars. Haha
