Art - After the really hot day this summer that I think cooked my Fuel Injection Computer (ECU) and immobilized my 89 900, I replaced relays and fiddled around and got it running really roughly for a few minutes and the check engine light was on most of that time. Ignition could cause the ECU to shut down so it could be that, since you are still mobile... I'm still going to guess your Fuel Injection system has a problem, there are quite a few ways I could be right on this one. (Relays, Fuel Pumps, ECU) But the "running fine with foot on the gas" does'nt really totally fit with these failures does it? I once upon a time sanded off the contacts made near the throttle linkage and I think I got rid of a similar problem. -Dan Art wrote: > 24 hours later, the check engine light is still on, but it runs fine (as > long as I have my foot on the accelerator).
