Check engine light/Town Fair Tire

[Neil Swanson <75377.3445@CompuServe.COM>]

I'm getting lit,

For a couple of weeks now I'm sometimes getting the CEL (check engine light)
coming on.

All the owners manual says is go to the dealer or buy good gas.  I use 93/94
octane and I don't want to go to a dealer thank you.

Here is what happens.  On the highway at 65-70, add a little and I mean little
throttle and the light will come on.  Back off the gas and it goes out.  Add
more gas and it goes out.

It seems more connected to throttle position than an actual running condition.
It doesn't do it under hard acceleration or boost.  There is barely any change
in RPM yet the light will come on.

No fault codes.  The only thing I've done lately is a set of Blue Igniters from
Rapid parts and all was fine for a couple of weeks after that.  Also I used a
brass tooth brush to clean a little green off the temp sensor on the rad hose
outlet at the top front of the head.

Got ideas or experience?  The model Audi would help I bet, '88 5ktq


Paul,

I have used Town Fair on/off for a few years.  They seem to be unable to balance
a wheel even though they have the best possible tools to do so.  I must add that
a Merkur is one of the worlds most anal/picky cars when it comes to such things.
But I had the same experience with an old girl friends Chevy.  If you can't do a
chevy then........
