OK. Changed the fuel filter. VEry easy and I could probably do it in 5 minutes now. Screw those copulers we have on Gen 1s!
Anyhow, I took it for a 10 mile drive and all seems fine....but I will drive it to work tomorrow and hope to finish the drive cycle on the way home.
Cross your fingers!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, all is good on the way to work today.
Scanned it when I got to work and no pending codes and only one test parameter not ready for testing.
So, P0320, random misfire, can be caused by a lack of fuel. Makes sense now.

Nope. Just went out to lunch and everything was acting crazy again. P0320 showing again.
Even when crusing below 2000, it wants to die sometimes.... Tach drops all the way down to zero, I mash the gas in and out, and then it jumps up to 3000, and all over the place in between beforee eventually settling down.

well, i think its time to do some pinpoint tests........basically what seems to be happening is that the PCM is losing its PIP signal.......
well, heres what we can do.....i can help you go through the pinpoint tests step by step (to an extent), or, i can email you the pinpoint tests, and various information as far as electrical diagrams and such like that.

That reprogram applies to a one time only deal that occurs during closed loop, on closed throttle deceleration, and leaves no DTCs............it basically just kills itself, and fires right back up and runs normally.......doesnt sound like your problem......

i hope you have a DVOM..........every step in the pinpoint test (except 1 i believe) uses a DVOM to measure voltage, continuity, and resistance........

Have you heard of this?
[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica] I had a similar problem ow speed dieing and cutting in and out at higher speeds it turned out to be TSB for the igition wire harness grounding out on the evap canister for the AC. Its right on top and easy to see if you know what you are looking for![/FONT]
