Any car that has any kind of fuel injection has a computer in it.

I still think that's a safe statement to make today. You'll be hard pressed to find a mechanical fuel injection still in service today, if you did, it would probably be at a car show, or hidden away in some geezer's garage.

The '92 has a speedo gear. It's a $7 part and a 10 minute job to change out.
