If they were going to keep this 92 se long term (30-60K mi.), would it be wise to change the timing chain? I had mine changed (and associated gears) while my mechanic had the front of the moter open to change the cam sensor. I had this done at 172,000 mi. I plan on keeping it for quite a while and he recommended the replacement of these parts. I was a bit hesitant at first, but dont regret it. It'* given me a peice of mind driving a car with high milage. (Of course, there is a better chance of being stranded as a result of an altenator failure than a timing chain failur). None the less, I don't regret it.

The chain should be changed at 150K on the L27, Make sure this has been done.

'87 - '91 == 100K
'92+ == 150k

As a side note, I change mine at like 180K and I'm suprised the car ran.

I also own a 92 SE, I'm not sure if you fixed your problem, but if your looking for a PCM i have a spare with NO prom. Let me know if your interested. I hope this doesnt break any forum rules, if so please let me know.

Thank you,

As a side note for all 92 SE SSE OR non supercharged 92 owners, run a 180 degree Tstat to keep your temps down. The 92 3800'* N/A did not come with a Eletronic EGR valve from the factory (gm cutbacks) HENCE increasing exhaust temps HENCE burning exhaust valves on the valve train. This has been a problem for a few members in the past..Just a side note.
