Further to Just purchased a 90 with 10 valve engine

[Huw Powell]

You probably got water into a connector or six.

Undo all engine compartment electrical connections, one at a time, clean 
with contact cleaner spray, enhance with silicon dielectric grease, and 
try again.

I'll get back to you on the hot start/no revs thing, but in the 
meanwhile you might want to keep in mind that type 89 90Qs are mostly 
boys, from what I've seen.  You might want to stop calling him "her" and 
see if that helps.

Great ride, by the way, I'm on my second now.
