Checking to see if anyone out there has a power key for a 1990 that they would like to sell ?

Are you missing the key or looking for a spare?

Bought my car in Nov. it did not have the power key. I have read that the car should default to normal mode on start up. Only driven 10-20 miles since buying but the full power light on the dash always comes on after starting and the couple of times my right foot has been heavy it sure feels like the secondaries are kicking in. I'm the 3rd owner and new to the LT5 so I wonder if the secondaries have been bypassed ?

With Marcs chip on a 91 always in full power, maybe it has a chip?

It's kind of odd the switch is in the normal position but the full power light on the dash is on. 1st owner (I believe deceased) had the car until 2013 (I think), 2nd owner didn't have it long enough to do much more than drive it 2-3xxx mls. Thought if I could buy a key at least the car would look stock, don't really plan to ever drive it in the L98 mode. Thats just wrong !

On a 90 the key will only come out in the normal position. Unlike the later years, it will stay in the full position when put there. I never touch my key in my 90, it's always on. In normal mode, the engine will not rev much above 5.5K. In full, it will sail right up to 7K. We've had this discution before, please do this test with the engine under load. Don't sit in nuetral and mash your foot to the floor.

Thanks for the info. guys, so on a 90 you can't take the power key out of the car and still keep the car in normal mode ? The car is in full power mode cause my ornery right foot has already hit the rev limiter a couple of times. That 70 mph second gear thing is Bad A$$

Or, as Rich said, maybe a PO just lost the key and hard-wired it for that reason. Last edited by KILLSHOTS; 01-20-2015 at 10:23 AM. |
