I owned a '92 for 3 years, the TCS would go into "limp home" mode at least every 6 months. Usually the fix was a $90 check valve and an hour of the shop's time to diagnose, replace and re-calibrate the TCS with the Techtool. The last failure of the TCS system was the throttle potentiometer-a $400 part, plus the aforementioned labor.
So, I wouldn't buy an early 9000 with this system. The good part was that the engine idled very smoothly, since the TCS controls the throttle position- but that's the only good part, IMHO.
