We will have several presenters for this meeting
where we will discuss Fiero wiring harnesses and the
electronics system. The first presenter is NIFE
member Gary Pickardt from Maryland and
owner/operator of Pickardt Performance. Gary has
done several different engine swaps, but specialize
in the LS4 platform. Our second presenter is NIFE
member Matt Goss of G3 Fieros from Virginia, who is
a wiring and electronics specialist and Technical
Instructor. Between Gary and Matt, they have worked
on multiple Fieros of all years and trims, from
stock, custom, to highly modified. They have great
knowledge about what differences there are between
wiring harnesses and what has to be done when
completing swaps.
Matt will cover topics related to wiring
harnesses, including the major differences between
years (stock transmissions/engines), common
grounding concerns, and common stock harness issues,
both with fixes and their effects.
The topic will then change over to cover wiring
changes needed for PCM or engine swapping. There
will be an overview of the C203 and C500 connectors
and what can be tied into them for swaps. Gary will
talk about different types of PCMs that are
available to work with the swaps and will also
discuss some of the aftermarket wiring harness
options for swaps, such as Fitech and Holley.
