I have a 87 6cyl Fiero. Sometime it will start and sometime it won't. It's like its not getting spark. My husband says its not the starter. Any ideas what it could be?
 
pull the spark plugs and connect the plugs to the plug wires ONE AT A TIME. then disconnect the fuel delivery system, and turn the engine over. That will eliminate beyond the shadow of a doubt if its a spark problem
 
It could be a number of things like a bad ignition module, bad ignition coil, loose or corroded electrical connector, etc. Need more details. Does it not start more after it is warmed up or when cold? Wet days or dry days?
 
I have an 87 4 cylinder 2.5 and i too am having spark problems. I have a new ignition control module, new coils, all new sensors, the spark plugs wires are good, new spark plugs, cleaned all the connectors. my number 3 post on the coil is not firing at all, absolutely no spark on cylinder 3, I can get it to run but its very weak and misfires a whole lot, Also my fuel gauge is stuck past full it goes right to full when I turn on the ignition and my temp gauge is stuck on 0 and i have a new temp sensor....HELP ME PLEASE GUYS IM IN A HUGE BIND MY MOMS HAVING SURGERY IN TENNESSEE AND I NEED TO GET THIS CAR RUNNING SO I CAN GET UP THERE :(
