My '95 900S has been doing exactly this for the last three years. While it was still under warranty, the dealer swapped out the ECU, motor-vac'd the fuel system, replaced the spark plugs with hotter ones, checked fuel pressures after the car had been sitting over night (pressure was OK), had me switch to synthetic motor oil, had me use a FI cleaner (BG something-or-other), tried Techron.
Nothing worked.
Once, after I changed the oil (using Mobil 1), the problem immediatly went away (at least for a few months). Why? I don't have a clue.
I had used Chevron gas exclusivly when having this problem. About a year ago, I moved to an area that does not have a nearby Chevron, so I've been using Texaco. I have not noticed the problem near as much now (just happened yesterday for the first time in about four months).
I put a can of Techron in the tank four months ago (keep in mind that I am now using Texaco gas now) and after a week, the car started having the problem again.
So, as you can tell, I never got to the root cause. However, my experience tells me that Techron may be partly to blame (maybe any FI cleaner will lower the volatility of the gas).
If you find out the culprit, PLEASE POST!!!!
Good luck,
Scott
