I most often chose RockAuto.com and select Delco parts for GM cars. That’s what I used in the video. If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment

Thanks Jack , unfortunately a thief took that truck and did amazing damage in 30 days, so I let the insurance company have it

That can be used on a variety of seals from brakes to spindles ( axles) of all sizes

I was receiving a park neutral error code, I replaced the shift selector switch. After replacing the selector switch the cable needed adjustment , the brittle adjuster broke so I had no alternative but to replace it. In your case , I’d properly weight the shifter and ( with care) remove the clip and adjust the cable

@normanpaulife Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Thanks, I’m glad you liked them. If I find the time or an excuse I’ll build a completely new concept model that has design keys from the best but carries the streamline design to heights

Thanks Jack!

Just you wait till I make a window installation video (spring) or my Home Theater Series ( on the short list)

Fuel injected cars need the pump inside the tank to supply the pressure and consistency needed. If the tank is mostly empty it’s not difficult , rusted bolts can be challenging to remove without breaking (sometimes). The rest is routine

It was his truck and his decisions , he wanted to do it “his way” I supplied answers if and when asked , and prevented damage or mistakes. He learned to trust himself. And began his journey after two repairs I began my mechanical journey in a small engine shop at 16 and became and aircraft mechanic at 18, and attended automotive maintenance technology (technical school) at 22. I have more than 46 years of experience from small engines to B - 52s ( jet engines) . If you get an opportunity watch the video I made replacing an 6 liter Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor and compare “My Method” to others out there. I removed nothing but the sensor and tube in minutes and properly torqued the sensor to specifications.

Thanks . I learned a lot from the gas company, and plumber who ran the line from the meter to the house, even from the appliance repairman ( who didn’t actually fix anything) .

The “Sniffer” found em , I just looked on in horror ! I would highly recommend it before tackling any gas line maintenance. It paid for itself in one use. Safety and Gas savings.

Technically three leaks , underground line also ( but never pin pointed) , a complete new line was run from the main to the house gas line circuit

Thanks Jack , stay tuned more similar (indoor) content on the way ( for winter )

Thank you ! That’s my cousin I just met (at the time). He wanted to learn mechanics and I enjoy teaching.

Perhaps , but I have to demo the most correct methods , not the easiest.

The master cycling came with a fitting and plastic tube for bench bleeding. So yes it was done , it prevents the introduction of air into system to speed up bleeding . It’s not a must do .

Thanks Jack . I have a unique design build video in the final stages of editing …

Thanks Kurt, these tips work on many things , even cars or lawn equipment, that’s where I learned them

@@shafferjoe1962 thanks. It’s much stronger out the gate than I expected

@@jackclement1394 stay tuned Jack part 2 is close to post time , ( few days) . I think you’ll like it even more

@@miketully1157 thanks, it was a spontaneous video, I wanted to help my cousin who I had recently met for the first time ! He wanted to do the work with guidance and we thought it was opportunity to share his first mechanical repair !!!!

@@southwest6720 I have the installation video recorded also , I will try to place it ( after my current in work video ). Thanks for the positive comment. Best of luck.

Thanks Jack , stay tuned I expect to post another very soon. It’s a John Deere Compact tractor tune up in two parts

Jack there’s a new one waiting for you as promised.

@@johnoliver3316 I suppose it snuck up on me in the middle of a large job , I thought to stop and research a brake I simply bought one and got back to work. I have bought other products from the Fiero store , for example the steel vacuum hose set , I’m currently replacing.

@@normanpaulife thanks for the response, just saying change the rest of the lines soon.i blew one out in my fiero and had to drive home with no brakes, not fun.

@@randybanister1640 Thank you for watching! I spent weeks contemplating altering a brand new truck, I wanted to be sure it was done right ! And when I had a plan I thought perhaps others feel like I did so I recorded the process to make it effortless , good luck .

@@michaelstrane3254 Glad it helped! I began my mechanics journey at 16 in a small engine shop in the 70’s and an Air Force Crew Chief in the early 80’s and self taught Auto Mechanic shortly after ( I have a little mechanical experience).

@@RJMachine62 I have an automatic drain with a diffuser ( muffler) does dump water but the diffuser breaks it into unnoticeable droplets

Send a few pictures to kingranch@currently.com without seeing it I can only guess. You can tie off to a vehicle, a tree or lawn mower perhaps with a rope and use a board in tourniquet fashion if you don’t have ratchet straps.

Sounds like you’re attempting to stretch the chain link enough to assemble the corner joint. Remove the tension from the end of the gate especially the corner, assemble the corner joint ( frame) then re-tension the chain link working from the top down to the lower corner

@@ralphpomm4943 that’s one hell of a compliment!!!! You’re welcome , remember, if you have questions feel free to leave a message

@@cruzenoob1422 absolutely! The ground is very important , on cars with painted metal surfaces the factory often uses star washers to create a ground by cutting into the metal

@@normanpaulife thanks for the fast reply, Ok I didn't know that, since I saw the connector has 2 pins I just assumed its + and -. I looked at mine and there were no such washers, it's just the 2 screws holding the plate down. I'll try and remove the paint where all the mettal parts come in contact, maybe my fiero will fire up then :D

@ajkooper I can see that ! Perhaps find a piece of tubing. Penetration oil is a big help

@@normanpaulife yes! tubing in the right diameter should work. And my fiero likes to self oil its parts for me LOL

@@SDKwarrior so glad it helped

@@jaymartinson very glad it helped !

@@chuyalvarez2322 the idle speed is controlled by the Idle Air Control , IAC . It’s a solenoid that acts like a choke, it closes an air passage to help the vehicle start , and opens when the vehicle reaches operating temperature. It’s controlled by the computer that reads sensors such as the coolant temperature to determine when the engine is warmed up enough. You can start by testing your IAC , but realize the computer is in charge of idle speed and it must have proper inputs

@@shafferjoe1962 don’t let someone work on your vehicle even in the middle of another state in the middle of the night on a weekend… lol

Truthfully I don’t know , perhaps if you you turn them slowly with a socket you can free them enough to pop them off. I made them extra tight !!!

@jackclement1394 start by checking Rock Auto for a “repair” boot. You should be able to find a split boot that can be replaced without disassembling the drive shaft. If you need to pull the drive shaft I can share a tool and methods to pull the shaft. If you need more help Kingranch@currently.com

I’m going on vacation soon , and I don’t shave on vacation! I was replacing the well pump at my vacation home

@@ChandlerBlandt thank you ! It’s an easy fix that can save money and severe damage, I lost a driveshaft when I was young in a 68 Firebird

@@shafferjoe1962 thanks Joe , now it’s back to studio for my editing

@@larryschifferdecker8538 , it was parked for about ten years because it became unreliable ( for my wife, it was her daily driver) after the Dealer installed the wrong alternator and it began eating belts and breaking down. I tried fixing everything else water pump harmonic balancer , checking belt alignment etc. finally back to alternator where it was discovered it mismatched pulley 4 vs 5 groove !!! Now it takes time to repair ten years of sitting, it’s a fun car to drive, easy to fix, starts right up after sitting for months, hard to get rid of cause it starts and runs no matter the weather

@@normanpaulife Great story. That's exactly why I'm afraid of the "dealer".

Great video Norm. Very low volume for some reason. I had to have my headphones up full just to hear you.

I wish you the best , if you have questions feel free to send a comment

@@normanpaulife Ive been having some issues with the truck turning off when I leave it go down to the IDLE, as well as when I turn on the air conditioner and I'm stopped, the engine just drop revs until turning off.

@@andresaltecladowas the IAC your issue? Literally same symptoms as mine.

Yeah! Just replace it and voila! Steady and strong even with aa on at max speed. ​@@mannyrod8472

The TPS on the truck is on the bottom and completely inaccessible. Many others the TPS is on the top. It has Phillips head screws , “IF” it was possible to remove it with a right angle screwdriver or apex bit, the time it would and risk of stripping the screws would certainly not be worth it. If it was a bet , or a challenge I could probably do it. I was aircraft mechanic for 26 years in the Air Force , replaced much more challenging things because you can’t just remove a Jet Engine to replace a simple component.

Please add additional information. Which sensor? What type of engine ? Year make model.

I have another video on flushing the brake system (awaiting editing). I would encourage you to drain and flush the system to prevent the contaminants and moisture from breaking down your hard work. Wish you tremendous success! Thank you for your comment

I don’t shave on Vacation but I (still) Fix Everything…lol

Thanks , that was shot at the house in Maine ( on vacation )

It’s critical!!! There wasn’t even a safety rope

EGR blockage, makes hard starts, poor fuel economy, rough idle, lack of power. You’d also want to check Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor , if the EGR is plugged up or full of carbon the EBPS and tube for blockage it’s closely related and very common. I have a video showing the tools and method to make it much easier.

would it make my turbo sound like it’s working a lot harder?

constant surging in boost, i mean it’s normal for her to surge but it just seems off, thank you for the help and info!!

also side note, there is a little flat plate below the turbo kinda in front of it, has two screws on it but i have no clue what it’s called but it seems to have oil leaking, any help there?

Thr egr cooler probly im a master tech but plate thingy is impossible to understand😂​@@samzank1187

Have you checked for spark ? The simplest way is use the coil wire and spare plug if you have one. If you have spark, you might try priming the engine with fuel in the intake. If the car has sat for many years - it’s most likely fuel related , but the ignition module is all completely within reason. The Fiero is very reliable car and I find it easy to fix . I have a long history with them , feel free to ask questions

I should’ve mentioned. Are your spark plugs wet ? That’s two signs , yes you’re getting fuel and not getting spark.

Thanks for the quick respond! Yes I did checked the spark plugs are new and there’s spark when i firing the engine and also I’ve tried put starter fluid into the throttle I did start for second then cut off

If you ( like me ) purchase an engine from a junk yard , you’ll receive a long block, that’s the core engine and heads. You’ll need all the accessories from your engine , for example. Starter, alternator, fuel injection system, ignition system, AC, power steering etc. Don’t throw anything away until the new motor is running reliably! You’d be surprised what you can reuse especially hardware
