1979-1993 & 94 Conv [Subscribe to Daily Digest] |
I just picked up a beautiful '93 900T convertible (5-spd) with 122K miles on it from Atlanta, GA and drove it home to CT. Got it for a great price and it's in excellent condition! Top looks brand new, paint is shiny, interior is perfect. It's black w/beige insides.
Since I know most about my '98 9000CSE (mechanical and otherwise), I was hoping for some advice and tips on what to do and look for in my newest addition. I'm a complete DIY'er, and have modified my 9000 from a beauty to a beast.
On the '93 900T, engine is strong, tranny shifts smoothly. I know I need a front-end alignment (tire-wear and front-end shake confirms that), as well as a complete tune-up (idle is lumpy and races up/down at times).
Besides the usual plugs, rotor & cap, wires(?), air filter (definitely will go with a K&N), oil and coolant change, what else needs to be done?
Also, what are some of the rules that must be abided by with this engine/tranny? Meaning, for the 9000, only NGK BCPR7ES plugs are allowed, as well as full- or half-synth oil is recommended.
How does the ECU work in this car? I know how the Trionic system works in the 9000 to control boost and other things, but I know nothing about the 900 controls.
Currently, boost gauge shows only getting into mid-yellow. Should it get into the red? What do I look for to "fix" this?
And if there's any advice on how to make things better (ie.: go faster), please share...
Thanks for any and all info!!!!
