Well i never
« on: February 11, 2007, 14:06:43 »
been trying to fine tune my 90 for the last week
Log book says 2.5 engine

after looking at the engine number and then having a look at my autodata disk i find i have a 2.3 engine not the 2.5 myself and my mate George (who had the 90 for the last 12 years) which explains why he had probems with some of the parts for it.

Today i tuned the engine using my setting for a 2.3 engine  and got the co to the lower listed (photo in my gallery).

What a differance. I now have a smother running 90, pulles better than before and up a steep hill (rose hill at the lickeys hills for anyone who knows it) i have to change to 3rd (yes 3rd about 1/4 way from the top).

Also it now runns in 5th gears at 30 mph.

A very happy Darryl

Better change your sig then!  Bizarre that it's been in there for so many years and nobody has picked up on it.

True but we know it started life from solihull as a derv and it was converted before my mate got it.
