My '88 has in just the last couple of days given me an unexpected worrisome surprise. I guess I'll keep reading the recent thread - but does this sound familiar to anyone? I have noticed my idle speed wavering between 1k & 2k, but it's just annoying - I really didn't think it was a problem... but, just yesterday, while driving on the highway about 50mph, I noticed a brief power loss. - not enough to stall me - I just kept driving, and it went away, and ran fine for about 3 hours after that. Today, sort of the same thing. It just lasts for 5 seconds or so, and there seems to be no way of predicting when it might happen. I have a spare ECU, and thought I'd plug it in and see what happens. Will a Digitool save the day, and make it fairly obvious what's happening, or am I going to have to take it to a pro? Brian Doss '88 Weekender, Queequeg |
