In both cases the problem was due to loose engine/tranny/chassis ground wires. Apparently, having anything less than an impeccable ground circuit can cause the FI system to get false readings, resulting in a bad fuel mixture and rough running. In both cases, removing the ground straps (there are several) and cleaning the connections fixed the problem. I did on one other occasion have a similar problem with the '82 that was traced to a bad O2 sensor connection, so you might want to check that too. -------------------------------------------- Wes Neuenschwander Seattle, WA (wesn@eskimo.com)
