Hi all...
240 91 sedan, 230k,
I've noticed that alot of the posts recently seem to have to do with the heat wave in recent weeks, go figure!
Anyway about a month a go my gf's sedan seemed to sputter and run out of power, almost like bogging down, all the way till it died.. At the time I was able to re-start and nurse it, too much throttle would kill it, to a parking lot where I ended up unplugging the amm and limping it to my uncles. Well long story short, put in a newer :) AMM and everything seemed to be fine, I just did that because we had a pulled one lying around.
However it has done it again, this time when it was really hot the other day. I tried unplugging the AMM, but I also un-hooked the negative battery cable, and waited 2 minutes. This "re-setting" of the ECU seems to have worked for like the next 20 minutes in the heat, did it again, etc... Ended up having to re-set the ECU if you will 4 times the other day.
To note, I also noticed some accumulation of liquid, gas, etc.. in the hose leading down through the throttle body, (maybe I shouldn't have cleaned it so well last tune-up) lol and wanted to mention that I don't think it is the AMM because both times I'm pretty sure it was the disconnecting of the battery that helped... Any ideas, also sorry for the long post:)
