This is a pretty common question, but I need to do a tune up 37k miles and the oil scavenge pump recently went out twice, so the intake drank a little oil. (original, then crappy shurflo cheapy, now I am running expensive turboworks) I was thinking about taylor 8.2mm wires, MSD coil, a more expensive cap and rotor. What are your thoughts on this, along with I don't know what kind of plugs to get either. I like NGK iridiums, but the heat range is 5, and I would think I would have to get a hotter plug style since it is forced induction... Before my performance mechanic went out of business he said that the car runs extremely rich under boost too, so I will have to address that soon too. The guage goes to 10 on the fuel air mixture and he said it means it gets flooded. Oh, and it has a 180 tstat and fan switch, So at least it is kept pretty cold....

when it comes to plugs and boost, you will almost always go to a colder plug, if it's causing detonation. -
Sounds like a 5 might be an okay place to start. Does the Fiero have a capacitor in the ignition system? I haven't seen one and it is not discussed in the GM manual.1992 Grand Prix SE 3.1l 155k SOLD

What you need to do is get rid of the cap and rotor and go DIS!Originally posted by Cidacious View Post
Will be WAAY easier to do your tuning and help avoid any detonation.
