Hey, how you doing?, i've read your message about the tempo,
i just can say one thing: I love tempos, my dad bought one when I was 7, i'm 17, so I got the white as I call it, and my mother bought a 1988 tempo lx, like a car of it's age yeah got it's problems: heat, few leaks, but just that, my dad's tempo is a 1992 model with the 109 horse powerplant, i've done a little modifications and upgraded to 185 horses,
the car wouldn't let me down, the other tempo has never done the same so I stay loyal to my two tempos, your tempo just require a little love, but it will thank you.
