Oh no... something else that is about to go wrong with my '89! Actually all of the little boots on the connectors for the harness going to the injectors are quite rotten. But I don't have this symptom yet. Maybe checking the state of the plugs - dist cap - rotor might find some something really fouled? It's pretty easy to do on this vintage right? -Dan charles stoyer wrote: > I had some similar problems with an '85 900 T and it turned out to be a > short in the wiring between the computer and the injectors, etc. Make sure > all the wiring is in good condition and not grounding out or shorting > between wires. > > Intermittent problems can indicate a wire which is loose or shorting out.
