NNNNOOOO!!!!!!!! CE LIGHT!!!

[waddsn1060]

Ok, I had the car on the give me some heat while cleaing the interior and all of a sudden the idle jumps between 300-2000RPMS, the CE light goes on, then the battery light goes on and the car dies. I try to start it up immediatly afterward and it starts right up. I let it sit for about 10 more minutes and no problems. Went inside and came back about 20-30 minutes later and tried it again and nothing happened.
Any ideas on what it could be?

Do you have an aftermarket ECU? Mine rattled a little loose once (don't ask me how), and made the car do a ton of weird crap... like a 2k RPM idle with all the lights flashing on and off and what not. So if you have an aftermarket ECU, that'd be the first thing to check.

Check your codes. If the CE light came on something is stored. It might have been a fluke that was corrected by itself, but better to know than to get on the road and.....(I won't even say it)

Actually...Thank you Scott...I learned it all from you!

Brad, keep us posted as to what's wrong. I bet you're pretty bummed (******), but hang in there. You can always dream about that Borla exhaust, and flying down the road with the secondaries wide open.....

Seriously, I feel for ya. Have you found anything out yet?

Here is where you can read about checking the codes with only a 6" piece of wire with 1/4" spade lugs and 5 minutes of your time.
http://216.92.187.145/SHO3eeccodes.html http://216.92.187.145/references/eecarticle.TXT http://216.92.187.145/SHO3eeccodes2.html

Learn to do it. It is a very valuable test you can run yourself. Shops charge at least $75 just to retrieve the codes. It is ludicrously simple. You don't need to buy a code reader. Just assemble the 6" wire with a 1/4" spade lug on each end. Insert it where shown in the links above, turn the ignition key to ON and count the CE light blinks.

Damn that... That thing is fast too... Let me know if you need any parts. I have a 91 MTX I'm parting out. - Mike

[waddsn1060]

I would do the test myself but there is a small problemo, it wont start! Then when it does, it doesnt stay on for more than 10 seconds.

car doesnt need to be running to pull codes, just turn the ignition switch on and the check engine light will blink

 

[jonysho]

Waddsn1060. I feel your pain. My Sho does the same thing. The idle will jump. It'll die going down the highway and all kinds of crap. I've got an aftermarket ECM. I think that's it and probably your problem too.

YO!!! Sorry for the delay in response. I am currently enjoying the Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee and lots and lots of hiking (13 miles Saturday, 14 miles Sunday and 18 today) Regarding the SHO, I talked to the dealer Friday, they said they could find no problems at all with the car and were trying to duplicate it. I am going to talk to them again tommorow. I am returning from Tennessee on Saturday so I will have a MUCH better update then. Happy New Years to all!!

This is a fozzy of a bear of a mess. The service manager said a technician drove it for almost an hour on Friday and nothing was wrong at all so they are going to take it for a drive again today to see if it acts up. Either way they are going to pull the codes to see if anything was stored at all. Also (here is where I become ******) I have a leaky radiator and that needs to be replaced (I figured so much, just didnt want to admit it) So Im out some big time cash, GOD DAMNIT!!!!!!!!
