I have had to replace the DIC on my '96 Aero twice already and I am now looking down the barrel at a third time at 134,000 miles. This seems unusual, given some of the other stories here. Here are the various symptoms that I have come to know and hate:
Hard knock and loss of power at boost; lack of boost past the low-yellow range (lets you know how a big car performs with a normally aspirated 4cyl engine); backfire and lurching under hard acceleration; rough idle and stalls; the shade tree mechanic at the battery store tells you, "your turbo is about to go"; premature spark plug fouling; unexplained parked dead car that can't be jumpered to life. Note that some of these symptoms are due to the secondary effects of spark plug fouling that the DIC sometime induces.
