a flickering check-engine light

Tue Jul 8 13:45:09 EDT 2003

Just a stab, but had the check engine light on constantly on the v8 I picked
up in Cali a few months back.  Scott J. spotted the culprit --ended up being
a knock sensor's wiring grounding out where the sheathing had crumbled away
due to heat/age.  May be worth looking into.  BTW, I didn't replace said
sensor, instead wrapping electrical tape and that black flexible conduit for
wiring looms instead.  No more check engine light and at least 50 more
ponies!
