On my 1988 9000T, which I think is basically the same FI setup as your car, this turned out to symptomatic of a failing FI relay (this relay is next to the FP relay, which is apparently identical). The relay would fail when hot resulting in fuel injection cutoff which at first caused the occasional symptoms you describe but soon progressed to engine cutout while driving. The Bosch relay cost about $10 (discounted). On the 9000, these relays are in a shelf in the glove compartment; I don't know where they are on the 900. -- Ken Bell :: kenbellnopsamx.com :: (212) 475-4976 (voice)
