jakefac25:

There is remote chance it could be the voltage regulator. Just last week I was researching this forum since mine went bad. Someone mentioned that a voltage regulator fault, especially the type that increases the battery voltage to over 14.5 volts, can cause these and other random problems in the electrical and computer systems. So check your battery voltage with the engine at around 1500-2000rpm. If it is higher than it should be, it is time to replace the regulator. Mine was reading 19.8! and it ended up boiling out the electrolyte of the battery. I am awaiting a replacement part. good luck.
