aren't the Fiero fans the same as the GN fans?
if not, then the junkyardsare full of other options that can be easily adapted. i think Windstars are a popular source for high flowing electric fans.
did you check to make sure all the electrical connections are clean and tight, and that the relays aren't dead or dying?

Thanks Mark but I think thats a little out of my range as the fans are $250 and the harness is $70. Novaderrick yea I checked them and they were good, the fan is a couple of years old. I need a cheap replacement, anyone have any ideas? Merry Christmas btw!

If your rad is still efficient enough, a stock one should do just fine. Also make sure the fan IS the problem. I would jump the fan switch on the intake manifold first to confirm the fan is the problem.
The 2.8 liter fans are the same. The 4cyl fan is not a pancake motor on it. I bought an extra for my Vega project since that fan fits the V8 Monza radiator I have in the car now.

Are you sure it's the fan and not a fried plug or relay? Those fans are like the bunny.

Not sure what makes you think your fan is 'on the way out'..... 99.9% of the time a fan is either fried or it's not.... they do not sporatically begin to fail... I suggest that the fan is not your problem...

I noticed my temp rising/fan not on at a lite not long ago.... pulled over, popped the hood, and noticed the connector that plugs into the low speed relay on the fenderwell had slid halfway out of the relay... like heat over time has sort of deformed/loosened the connector lock and it no longer positively 'snaps' in... I pushed the connector firmly in and the fan started right up... got home and put a small zip-tie longways around the connector/relay to hold them together... your problem is probably something as simple as that.... at least something to check...
I wouldn't buy anything with "fan" and "ramchargers" in the same sentence. Better off getting an intreped fan from the junk yard. I realize you don't need one, just giving my 02 cents.
So after all that,i checked the RLYS fuse, and get ready.....it was blown, replaced it with the cruise fuse for now because my car does not have cruise (they were the same fuse) and the fans turn on, checking the fuse box 1st from now on, thanks for all the help.
