What have you done to your vehicle today?

Cleaned the bell housing, painted intake. Lifted gearbox, saved going to the gym.
 
Went to go to the supermarket in her this morning but she wouldn't start - Just turned and turned but wouldn't catch :(

Dave reckons it's fuel related as when he got home and tried her - it stank of fuel after about two turns!
 
got a new starter motor yesterday, ordered new cable today, old one too skinny

Fitted new battery stripped and cleaned throttle body
 
Put some brake fluid in, bled the brakes, and many more things in the other thread.

Fixed the Fiero yay!!!!!

We replaced the ignition module which is attached to the distributor but this didn't solve it so after some more diagnostics with the multi-meter determined that the pick-up coil in the distributor was at fault. Easy to replace but as the entire distributor was showing much signs of corrosion we opted for a rebuilt distributor which was ready to drop right in.

Problem solved !!!!
 
Now you can sell it and buy your truck :thumb:
 
Just been out for a quick drive - runs great - in fact better than when she stopped working so very happy!

Filled her to the brim with fuel - last time I put fuel in her was July last year - whoops!
