Re: My fiero has me drinking.

Remove the plastic cover set into the top of the rear right shock tower. Look diagonally down through that hole at the harmonic balancer; there's the timing tab. If you're sure pin A of the ALDL, or the wire attached to, it isn't grounded to anything, your ECM shouldn't be showing code 12; if you're...

Just adjust the balance and fade ...
