This would be a great car for a V8 Swap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1987 Pontiac Fiero.2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine and 4 speed manual transmission.I am selling car as a project car.When I purchased the car it had been sitting for a couple years inside of a shed.I cleaned out the gas tank and installed a new fuel pump and fuel filter.I also replaced the fuel pump relay and the water temperature sensor.I put in a new battery and the car started with no problem . I drove the car around the block a few times then parked in the garage. 2 days later I tried to start it and it would not start.I shot it with starting fluid and it started and ran for a few seconds then stopped.I tried starting it again with out the fluid and it did start after cranking for a while. It ran like it was running on only 2 cylinders.At this point in time due to my health and money issues I just want to sell the car and ,get back some of the money I have in it. The body of the car is in good condition.The only damage I can see are 2 cracks in the driver side plastic rocker panel. The paint looks to be original.Donot expect a show car paint job.There are some scratches and paint nicks .To be expected on a car this old.The interior is in good condition but does have some fading color areas.The only bad spot on the seats is on the driver side.Seam on back of seat near edge by the door is starting to open up.Looks like it could be repaired.Interiror is dirty and needs to be cleaned .Seats are in car but nut tightened down.This is the way I got it just never got to doing anything inside of car.The only thing missing inside is the head liner. Should not be hard to find or fabricate one.Other ares of the interior just need to be tucked in and tightened down.The motor did run very good before I shut it off and it would not start.The transmission is in very good condition.Shifted through all gears with no grinding or any other noise.The brakes worked ok for a car that had been sitting for so many years but, I would turn the rotors and replace all the pads.Wheels are decent but not great.Tires need to be replaced.Front tires hold air but, are old and craking.Rear tire are old and dry rotted.They will hold air for a couple hours.After a couple hours they go flat.This is a decent car if some one wants to put a little time into it.Get the engine in it running and it would be a great every day car.This would also be a great car for a V8 Swap.THE PROBLEM AREAS I HAVE DESCRIBED IN WRITING I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW IN THE PICTURES. PLEASE LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PICTURES BEFORE BIDDING. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS. I WILL ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS IS A USED CAR AND IS BEING SOLD AS IS WITH NO GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND!

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
GM replacing passenger airbags in over 243,000 Pontiac Vibes
Sat, Jun 20 2015General Motors is repairing over 243,000 additional examples of the 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe in the US and Canada to replace their Takata-supplied passenger-side airbag inflators. The company has no reports of irregular deployments in the models, though. These aren't actually newly included vehicles in the massive safety campaign. As a twin to the Toyota Matrix, the Vibe was already included in Toyota's figures, but as Pontiac-branded vehicles, GM dealers are taking care of these replacements. They have been covered as part of the Takata campaign in the past. Toyota expanded its own Takata recall to passenger-side components for 1.365 million vehicles on June 16. Earlier, General Motors also issued a campaign for 330,198 examples of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD, and 3500HD pickups to replace their passenger-side parts. After exposure to moisture, it's possible for these inflators to ignite too quickly in an accident and spray shrapnel at occupants. GM Statement The Vibes are included in two Toyota recall campaigns - one for high absolute humidity (HAH) areas and one for non-HAH areas. Both are considered national recalls even though only vehicles in certain HAH states and territories are in the recall. Total Pontiac Vibe passenger air bag numbers for MY 2003-2007 (U.S. and Canada only): High Absolute Humidity 89,719 Non High Absolute Humidity areas 252,685 These are the totals, which include about 99,000 previously recalled. GM knows of no field issues - irregular deployments - with these air bag inflators.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
