Haudi!
I just got this 87 GT Coupe with the 2.3l and digital dash.
I love it. I wasn't aware of how much I missed the music of
the 5cyl (especially w/ the loud exhaust).
It has some problems. The windshield wipers work only when
the lever is on the highest level (3rd step, no action on 1st or 2nd)
Is this a relay problem?
The transmission seems to grab the gear in 2nd and 3rd when cold.
When throttle is applied during clutching/shifting the gears go in smoothly.
Syncros?
The engine seems to run on the cooler side (2 notches above
/to the right of the "C" on the digital dash). At 90 to 100mph
the oil temp gets up to only 90 Celsius at 24 - 25 miles/gal.
I don't know if runs rich or not. I know that this car has two rads.
Personally, I'd like the Oil temp to hover around 100-110 to evaporate
contaminants and moisture condensation.
Well, let me know what you guys think about this!
Thanks!
Zaf
