*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR FAVORITE CAR PROBLEM ***
I have an '84 Fiero SE with that much *respected* 1.75 valves
per cylinder, 4-banger "Iron Duke" engine. My latest problem
(in a continuing drama...) is that as I cruise along at a
constant speed, after a while something happens back there in
that there engine compartment that affects the car as if
someone is stomping on the gas pedal repeatedly (like a
delta function (spike), not a ramp). I don't know much
about engines (redundant, seeing as I bought the car...)
and am wondering if anyone out there would have a good guess,
or a real answer. I actually like the car alot. Could it be
partially blocked fuel injectors?
Thanks for any help.

I seem to have a similar problem with my Sport Coup-ayyyyy. The durn thing will sometimes run smooth as silk, while other times it acts like only three of the four cylinders are hitting. I thought it was the SHELL 2000 gas I switched to, but now it looks like I'll have to take it in for a good ol' tune up. - leiomah -

It was the "TPS Sensor" -- connects to the computer. Replaced that sucker under warranty, and the car runs fine now. Good Luck! blues, II
