STRANGE BEHAVIOR - FLASHING DASH LIGHTS 850

posted by  someone claiming to be ARCHMAN on  Sat May 21 03:04 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I HAVE A 1993 850 GLT WITH 136,000. I HAVE JUST GOT IT BACK FROM A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM: THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WERE FLASHING ON THE DASH AND THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACH WERE ONLY BARELY REISTERING EVEN WHILE DRIVING (10 MPH MAX READING @ 45) AND THE ODOMETER STOPPED AS WELL. THE ENGINE SEEMED TO BE BOGGING DOWN - IT WOULD RUN FOR 2 OR 3 SECONDS AND SEEM TO SLOW FOR JUST A SECOND AND GO BACK UP AGAIN - COULD NOT MAINTAIN REGULAR POWER ON THE WAY TO THE SHOP. HE CLEANED THE GROUNDS AND IT WAS RUNNING FINE - ALSO GOT A NEW TIMING BELT AND TENSIONERS, WATER PUMP. 2 WEEKS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN BUT THEN THE NEXT TIME IT WAS STARTED IT WORKED FINE. LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE HARD TO TRACK DOWN. ANYONE FAMILIAR WITH THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR?
THANKS IN ADVANCE
