Since about August my 93 ATX has been having a weird ignition/power issue. I've tried replacing and cleaning various parts to little or no avail. Most recently, I cleaned out the IAB, which helped with surge prevention and worked great for about 4 days then ****, right back to square one. I've changed the CID, and cleaned just about every other sensor that it could be, and nothing. The only thing that helps is resetting the computer, and things will be fine for about a day, but I'll still get bad hesitation. After that though it progessivly goes right back to the radom engine shaking and random power loss. (BTW, random here means about 50% of the time). For the past month or so, I've noticed that when I first start the car, even when it's been running for a while, all the lights are dim, inside and out, and revving it above 2kRPMs brightens them up and it's fine from there on. Could this be the alternator? I recall, after doign teh 60k, we check the alternator's output, and it was very erratic untill you revved the engine,a dn it would instantly settle at 15v. But even now, revving doesn't solve the problem. It just perplexes the **** outta me what would be bad, when after a comptuer reset, it's fine but gets progressivley worse.
I checked the codes over and over, and I get nothing, it passes everything perfectly. any advice would be appreciated.
