Thread: Txslow6's 1987 Fiero GT

Engine needs some attention to hold me over till the swap. Picked up an intake manifold gasket, valve cover gaskets, and a fuel filter. Once I pull the plenum off later today ill pull the vac lines and source new ones from the part store. Hopefully I'll have this thread updated later today.

Spent the better part of the day removing the plenum, installing valve cover gaskets, and fixing the vacuum line hack job. Got most of the way through before I had to call it quits. Today I was reminded of how relaxing listening to music and turning wrenches can be.

What I started with



Started with the removing the air intake assembly:


Unbolted the TB:



Unlike the GP the EGR is connected at the bottom of the UIM:


Upper Plenum removed:


TB and upper plenum removed:


Fuel Line removed from rail. Nice to not have to use a fuel removal tool for once:


Fuel rail and full plenum removed:


Valve cover removed, gasket replaced(did this for both sides), and reinstalled:



Plenum reinstalled:


Fuel rail reinstalled:


Vacuum lines starting to be run (Map sensor/FPR/EGR)-TB coolant lines reinstalled



Time to scrap:



Plenum Torqued:

TB bolted more vac lines ran:


Still need to route a few more vac, reinstall the throttle cable, and reinstall the air intake ducting.

Ready for the road:
