Re: IML: 1990 Imperial

The 1990 engine computer is unique to 1990 Imperials and 5th Avenues with
the 3.3L engine.  I don't know if this goes for other computers in the car.
You should call your dealer and they will tell you the numbers of which
computers and from which cars will work for you.  You can get a computer at
a salvage yard for under $100.  Be sure the computer you get is from a car
that has similar equipment as your car.

I may be incredibly wrong but I could have sworn that I've seen
information on how to 'adjust' the settings for the overhead compass
and temperature gauge in at least the '93 Imperial and assume this
would apply to the '90, as well. It was either the owners manual or one
of the Haynes books (Chrysler Full-Size 88-93 [FWD]?) if not online. I
wish I could remember but as I had no troubles with those I didn't pay
much attention to it.

In the mean time, one quick thing you might try is to disconnect the
car battery and let the car sit for a bit and then see what the reading
shows.

If you haven't figured this bit out and still need to do it, drop me
another line over the weekend and I'll try to dig out the take apart
diagram.
