Did you by chance try tapping on the ECM while tha car is idling? Mine would really flake out when I did that...thus verifying that it was indeed the ECM. I'm an old F-4 Radar guy and my fave tool was a hammer...:-) Good for finding intermittent problems! You won't have to tap on the ECM very hard to get it to act up if it is like mine was.

Uly,
He only lives about a 1/4 mile from me, he can try my spare in his car to see if it solves the problem.

I just thought, would it work? My 92 has the ASR and that is one of the lights that is on.

Well it sat since I made the post and I went out today to check a few things. I started it and all the lights went out, it ran fine and the power key worked. I thought I was good. I took it out for a run, and it ran perfect for about 10 minutes. THen the service engine light cam on, then the ASR light came on, then the security light started flashing again. Sometime in there the power key shut off.

Thought I was good to go. So I disconnected the battery and ECM. I put Dialectric grease on the ECM connections and put it all back together, but that did not help.

Oh well, Ill try the new ECM today and see what happens.
