Hi Rick,
Thanks for the message! Actually I had already replaced the distributor with a different TFI. I currently get a Engine-OFF code of 14 which refers to the PIP circuit failure. The car doesn't always do the same thing and runs fine at times but what it does do are the following. High idle, upon starts sometimes it runs under the normal idle and surges up and down somewhat. If you don't let it warm up past the time it takes for the auto heat sensor to kick on and drive it it wants to stall as soon as you come to a stop. To give you a little history on this car I bought it from a mechanical engineer in December of 2000. He had balanced the turbo and it was producing about 21 psi of boost. It ran really well! I've been good to the car so I haven't abused it other than the couple of times that the throttle stuck from the damn floor mat and it revved like a Suzuki. I of course shut it down and I didn't notice anything strange as far as it running at the time. But after a few months I noticed that it just didn't have the go any longer like it did and it was back to 15 psi maximum. Now it's around 11 psi and I think it's a seperate problem. One thing to note is that the temperature gauge has never worked. I probably have a couple of sensors around to try to fix that problem or it might be a gauge. My hunch is that it's a sensor thus not giving the proper temps to the computer. I don't think however that the PIP error is related and this is why I am looking for a little guidance on that problem. I hope I haven't confused you or anyone. Thanks, Bryan
