Ummmmmm Karl?......*classic* sign of ECU failure....it tends to be a thermal
problem and I've limped 'em home by pulling the boards out of the black box
and letting the air curculate around them..a friend once installed a 12v
cooling fan over a cut out in the plastic ECU cover and got 2 years before it
stopped dead....
There is a *reason* my car is an 85...Late door, late dash, plastic coolant
lines forged contol arms and a *bulletproof* ECU...I know how to work on
cars...and I don't need to paractice on my own.......
I would think about getting and carrying a spare ecu.... i spent 4 hours on
the side of rt 81 in PA in the snow trying to get the syncro to move....*not*
your basic "Large Time"......
