Hey Brickowner,


Sorry to hear that wasn't able to stave off your problem. You said in your previous post that you checked the electrical connections. Did you take a look at the chassis grounds? If they are corroded, they can cause the problems you're experiencing.


Heres a link: http://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/ElectricalCircuitsRelays.htm#MaintainingChassisGrounds

If you haven't already looked at this it may prove helpful:

One thing you may want to take a look at is the knock sensor. If its signal is missing, it can cause rough running and a rich mixture. This is explained further in the link posted above.


Regards, Jon 'Uncle Olaf'
