The rough idle problem continued to degrade, until finally, yesterday, the old CE light reappeared. Very strange. Whenever it gets reset, the car runs great for a time (last time ~150 miles before first sign of trouble). Then the condition deteriorates until finally, the CE light comes back. I am told that the fuel/fire controls go into a default mode when this happens. Which might explain why the car acutally runs ok when the CE light is on! No stalling or rough idle. Also, it would appear that the more the condition deteriorates, the worse the gas mileage gets. And it actually recovers a bit with the CE light on. So that means the computer is juicing up the Fuel delivery, right?
