Default Temperature gauges ?

What years had both the analog and digital gauges ? I keep on seeing people refer to there car as having both . I'm wondering if my 91 does and I just haven't figured out how to make the digital one come up .

Thanks in advance , Patsfan

My 96 has coolent temp, oil temp, and voltage in digital and analog, it displays it where the mileage is under the spedo. push the gauge button to the right of the steering wheel if you have one. not sure about 91's

You can get a digital reading of your coolant temp on your 91.
Push the up and down arrows (for the fan control) on the climate control panel at the same time. After a few seconds, you will see a reading of -00. When you see that reading, release the buttons, and start pushing the up button until you see -16. When you see -16, push the "Auto" button, and you will see your coolant temp displayed in Centigrade. To exit, just push the Off button on the Climate Control panel.

To do the conversion, all you have to do is:

C x 1.8 + 32 = F

Yep, the temp gauges on 91s (I think 90 is the same) are terrible. As the other poster suggested you can use the HVAC controls to bring up a digital temp in celcius, but that is a PITA. At the track I'm constantly fiddling with the AC controls to get the digital temp and there is already enough going on in my pre-run routine.

A digital temp gauge is definitly on my list of things to do
