Powertrain Options and Availability
GL and LX Tempos in 1990 held a 98-horsepower, 2.3-liter 4-cylinder overhead-valve engine. A 100-horsepower variant went into GLS and All-Wheel Drive Tempos. A 5-speed manual gearbox was standard. Three-speed automatic was optional, except in All-Wheel Drive Tempos, which all came with the automatic. The 3.0-liter V6 engine, introduced in 1992, developed 135 horsepower. Also that year, the base four gained sequential port fuel injection and lost two horsepower--but gained a little torque to make up for that shrinkage. The formerly optional, higher-output 4-cylinder engine was gone after the V6 arrived.
