click on the op’s avatar and you’ll have an opportunity to send them a private message

otherwise, your chances of getting a reply are weak, as @modelsinc1967 hasn’t been active on this forum since October 7, 2011 . . .

my 87 celeb has distributorless ignition. my friend had an 88 fiero with the same motor but he had a distributor. it was FI but both of our intake plenums had a different design too. my motor was touchy on warm stalls due to crud in the intake. not a start problem, but a start/stall issue. and the MAF was kinda touchy.
