And now we go back to where I made a mistake by saying that Laser with had
a distributor.

It doesn't hurt to be wrong Daniel, people do make mistakes, and I wont harp
on your mistakes as you do mine

Dan, I won't do the work!! Just want to be a little smarter today
over yesterday. Thanks
Bob

One more question. Does the 92 have the VSS or OSS???

Right, sorry -- your '92 has both an OSS and a VSS. The VSS is your
probable fault.

Sounds interesting.
Tell us more, Daniel.

Thanks.

Making a '92 Spirit R/T clone based around a built-up 2.5 turbo
(intercooled).

Sounds good.
And it's good to see a good car which came with a
bad engine and trans saved.
Hmm, does the Turbo and V6 emblem have the
same mounting holes. That would be too sensible.

Thanks, Daniel!

It will be.

Yep. That said, I flew to NC, took a long cab ride to Yadkinville (
http://www.yadkinville.org/ , "a town in progress"), bought the car--
think it had about 60k miles on it or so -- stopped a few miles down the
road at an auto parts store for an air filter, a crankcase breather filter
and a set of wiper blades, tossed those items in, pointed the car
Westward, and stopped only to eat and sleep until I got to Ventura, CA.
The 3.0 and 604 worked flawlessly and returned 27mpg.

The "V6" emblem in '92 is a sticker, not the earlier emblem. It will be
replaced not with a "Turbo" emblem (it's no casual observer's business
that the car's turbocharged), but with the Mexican-market fender emblem
that was never used in the US, see

You're lucky you didn't have to, er, shift into a car hauler.

Wow, interesting link, and more links there.
Thanks!
Imagine how much fuel use and pollution would have
decreased in the US, if MPI would have been used more in
the US.
I used to see about a 94 Spirit (Dodge) FFV, I suppose
that was a US car.

Yeah, it's just another example of the US auto industry being stupid.
Chrysler in this case, but Ford and GM have made plenty of identically
dumb decisions. The MPFI 2.2 and 2.5 are just much better-running engines
than the wheezy TBI version used in the US and Europe.

Yep. With all kinds of fuel system materials upgrades, most of which are
going into my '92.
