We have a '93 Topaz, it just turned 132,000 miles and has been great over all! I do have a few questions for ya though! I have a service engine light that comes on when motor is warm. I read the codes and got those that point to the throttle position sensor, egr/pcv system. Did you do the work on yours? Where is the egr valve(2.3), were you able to reset the computer after reading codes, and both front windows were power but seem to be off the track-switches work as I can hear both motors come on but windows don't budge. I also have a bad "clicking noise" that seems to be coming from the serpentine belt area. I thought it was the a/c clutch as the a/c died, but I am leaning towards a motor mount. As the noise goes away above 1500 rpm while driving, and I am positive it's not an internal engine problem. Any idea's?

How many miles on yours?
I have a 1993 Topaz GS @ 128,000 miles.
Engine and transmission seem excellent.
I bought it used (11,000 mi) from the dealer in 1993 , and seemed to
need tie rod ends every year. Somehow it hasn't needed any lately.
Replaced two water pumps ; 80,000 mi and againat 126,000.
Replaced EGR valve around 126,000 mi .
Replaced struts around 100,000 mi
Replaced gear shift cable around 126,000 mi - (car was stuck in
1st gear, wouldn't shift) .
Replaced power window motors.
A/C hasn't worked in a while.
