If you ever find yourself again trying to “first start” another old, long stagnant fuel injected engine, you are better off unhooking the main fuel line at the throttle body or fuel rail before you even turn the key on. Attach the end of the fuel line to a hose and/or run it or the end of the line into a clean plastic soda bottle or jug, then turn the key to the ON position, listen for the electric fuel pump to switch on for a few second then shut itself off (with a open fuel line, it might continue to run, though). If you hear nothing, the pump isn’t working. If it does run, give it a few seconds, shut off the key switch and go see if there is anything in your bottle or jug. There is alway a chance that the fuel injector is still good, so you don’t want to pump stale or contaminated fuel into it. In the case of an old throttle body system, replacing the injector is neither hard nor expensive; but in the case of other EFI systems, you could be clogging up 4,6, or up to 8 injectors which would be more expensive to replace or time consuming to remove, try to clean/replace and reinstall. Not criticizing how you did things here but just giving you something to think about if you are faced with the situation again and it might save you some headaches, time, and cash.
I think the creators consider that the viewers like to see these rust buckets show signs of life, straight from the junkyard. If the money was mine, I would take the time to do the homework first...😀💸

You can check the injector by removing the wiring harness and place a 9v battery on the pin connectors and listen to see if it clicks and if so the injector should be good.
Great video. I enjoy your emphasis on older, less known (by today's standards) vehicles. Fuel pump is in-tank. Throttle body rebuild kits are available as are fuel injectors. Looks like prices are fairly reasonable for these items.
I used to watch this channel a lot.. Please finish something, anything.. Continually starting projects and abandoning them at the moment of substantial progress is kinda getting strange at this point.

You got it close. The repair manuals like chiltons and hanes have the wrong wiring diagram for the 84. The only real emission stuff on this car is the egr and catalyst converter. Make sure you plug open vacuum lines and the gaskets and base gaskets of the throttle body are good and sealing. Good luck with the fuel pump the tanks are fun to drop.
You could do some proper testing with a multimeter or noid light. It's funny how you're so enthusiastic about all those warning lights and electronic gauges working. To me, anything from the OBD era seems too new to be interesting enough for a will-it-start style video compared to points and carbs, but at least you're out there doing it and making content.
Excellent video CT :) that part ask what in Air Filter Snorkle Breather that part is if have Backfire or TBI on fire it like Fire Extutisher 🔥 put fire out or Fuel Injector to snuff too ! But they weren't not fully work and lots vechiles caught fire also burn to ground! My one Aunt had a car burn to ground and some other people have to I know too! I know lots vechiles after 1994 don't have air breather feature anymore I seen in !
Crazy idea.... Would you think a engine like that would fit in one of those Japanese mini trucks ? Probably too much power for a small truck like that. Let me know what you think, ok? Thanks 😎👍🇨🇦
It would be better to use a fuel with a little oil in it. keep spraying carb cleaner or brake cleaner just washes the cylinder walls and valves. Much better to have a little lubricant for the rings
It was a neat idea, just poorly executed like every new thing GM does. We used to call these Ponticrap Fireballs back in the day. Oil would leak onto the exhaust from the valve cover gasket and start a fire. The insulation on the firewall would catch, and then the rest of the car, which is very flammable fiberglass and plastic.
Disappointed in you CT. You said it yourself when the oil looked so clean, “all the sediment is at the bottom”. You should have at least changed the oil & bypassed the fuel tank. Now you’ve put that engine at risk of future failure from the muck getting sucked up and distributed around the engine to plug up oil galleries and cause ring or bearings to fail. You know better. Or was this staged? Either way, I’m disappointed.

@@jbaet Not much rust as all the body & rocker panels are either plastic, SMC or urethane.

Hi CT. Had one of these in an 86 Buick. The fuel pump is high pressure and you should hear it when you turn the key. Check fuse for pump first.
I wouldn't expect that she is runnin after this long time. 👍👀
So exciting !!!!
Can't wait to see the next video CT.
Thanks man! 😎😎😎
iron dukes are very strong engines. even after alot of years sitting👍. U got a good one
I hope so! Thanks man! =)
@@CTmoog u all good mane. I luv fieros to the fullest. enless of parts n a great
community forsho
@@fieroboy_8622are you an adult?
Looking forward to the next one CT!! You’ll get it!!
Thanks Slade !
Glad to see you back on Sunday morning
Thanks buddy!😎😎😎
They were SUCH FUN cars!
Hopefully I'll get a chance to drive it soon. 😃😃😃
Very nice. I'm already looking forward to the next👍

You could always GO AWAY...?
Iron Dukes are remarkably reliable engines

Good projects coming up so excited
What ever happened to the 65 beetle you were completely rebuilding....?????????
Waiting on Parts😎
I luv fieros so simple as a car.

Gotta love 80s cars, and their miles of vacuum lines. There should be a diagram sticker on the underside of the hood.
Yes, I like to remove them if possible. =)
You need a fuel pump, filter and injector and map sensor.. that should make run and idol smooth.
GM made a lot of crappy cars back in the 1980s. But so did Chrysler and well Ford lol.
Loved I haded like 14 fieros in my live I move to Illinois and I have plan for looking one👍👍
I met a guy that had one back in 1984 n in 1987 i saw him.at the light 🚦 and his fiero was on fire 🔥 here in northern calif 🇺🇲

Thanks for the tips! I'll be working on the tank removal tomorrow if all goes well.
Eu adoro carros antigos
Nice job sir Nice car Pontiac Nice show 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks buddy! 👍
Parabéns pelo carro muito top meu amigo

That's some good info Andrew! Thanks buddy! Keep it coming! =)
@@CTmoog welcome help out CT :) !
Eu comprei um jeep willys 30 anos atrasado pra reforma 🤝🤝🤝
thought you would hook up a remote starter switch and even set up a electric pump to get it running but you have done well cheers
I luv the 80s. Are you going to open a museum?
That would be cool! =)
You can fire those injectors with 9 volt transistor battery to test them 😂. Neat car bud
Love to have one a poor man's corvette as they were called in the 80's 😊😊😊
Buy yourself a set of metric/standard flare nut wrench sets. The hardware you're working on, will appreciate.
CT, are you putting in a radio back in the car after you fix it up?
Yes, I like to get one for it and may be fix the a/c as well.
Hi My Dear Friend Very Very Good Job ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much! =)
disconnect the fuel line from the other end of the filter.....it could be plugged
Good idea!
The surprising thing about the IRONDUKE engine is nobody has tried to seriously hot rod it.
Crazy idea.... Would you think a engine like that would fit in one of those Japanese mini trucks ?
Probably too much power for a small truck like that. Let me know what you think, ok? Thanks
😎👍🇨🇦
You have to be careful with ironduke engine. it can cause a fire if it’s not set up right. This is the rumor around the campfire .
It would be better to use a fuel with a little oil in it. keep spraying carb cleaner or brake cleaner just washes the cylinder walls and valves. Much better to have a little lubricant for the rings
Watch Ronald Fingers series on restoring an old Fiero - fuel tank on those suck-
Haven't you learned anything yet? you start the engine after 30 years without doing anything to it. well, the engine will be damaged
What are you spraying all the time in to the engine bay. Obviously dosent help with starting, so why ?😮

Oil would leak onto the exhaust from the valve cover gasket and start a fire. The insulation on the firewall would catch, and then the rest of the car, which is very flammable fiberglass and plastic.
yes sir👏👏👏
Are you returning to work on the porsche 914 any time soon😊
Yes, I'm looking forward to getting back out to the farm and doing some welding. It's too hot, humid and rainy right now.
It’s a bitch to bleed the cooling system on those!
First you got to do bring down tank and put new fuel pump and gas filter next a run up spark plugs and oil cahainged

And now make it a fake Ferrari 😁! There are body kits, I think.
Yes, that would be cool! =)

what is update on vw bus
Hello, don't put the amount of oil that the manual says.
140 / 85 ? Thats all ?
Where were the keys?
I ordered a new set.
😃😃😃

I bet you are thinking this is going to be easy?
THESE CARS SUCK

I get a kick out of you, cause you have been doing this a long time and you act like it's the first time. 😅
ÚTÁNA jólesz , és be indul ,nem találgani kell hanem szétkell szedni ,és nem locsolgani bele a benzint ,azt csinálhatja napestig nem lesz jó
Rusty take off the fuel line your pumping the crap in5to the engine from the fuel tank// your funny hook a red gas can to the fuel line
Keep the stupid can in your hand while running back to engine, jeez.
