Re: Idle Fixed but Engine Light Flickers

[Derick Farfan <bg18461@binghamton.edu>]

if you get an answer off the list let me know i am having the same
problem on my 90(5cyl), but when my engine light comes on i get an
immediate loss of power like someone just crimped a fuel line or
something, then from that point as i accelerate or just idle the engine
light flickers.  i have a brand new fuel pump in there so its not that.
please let me know, it might be the knock sensor, thats what the code
said, so if you get the re-torquing procedure.  TIA
