I picked up a 90 CQ earlier this year as my daily driver. I have been
getting 22-24 mpg town, and 28+ highway since purchase, all on 92 octane.
My car seems to pull nicely, with a less peaky powerband than some I have
driven. This may be attributable to the Maren fuel injectors, or the TAP
chip, I don't know. I did not install either of those, but with the way it
runs, I surely won't mess with them.
Regarding low-teens mileage, something is seriously wrong there, I would
check all vacuum hoses and the air filter for general health. Additionally,
the cam timing could be off a bit, causing both poor mileage and
"bogginess". I know the 20v engines are interference, but how far off can
the cam timing be and still run? I know 10v engines can be off a tooth or
two and still run, meanwhile exhibiting running issues.
