1988 CRX DX. DPFI. All stock. Cold as hell out now to troubleshoot,
so throw these symptoms together, stir 'em up, and gimme a gut feeling
of their interrelatedness and where to start looking first. Have
HELMS manual, will travel! Thanks, dudes!
-
-Notably on cold start it throws FLASH CODE 16 - low/improper FI
voltage. Will reset and disappear on later starts. Might reappear.
-Per something I've seen mentioned in several places (here and in the
manual)...at operating temp and in N, car will not hold steady 2000rpm
for 1 minute without racing at some point.
-Approaching 3500rpm under heavy accel car suddenly lurches like a
beast. As if it were either intermittently starved for fuel OR if
ignition were cutting in and out. Hard, fast, and erratic lurch and
jerk.
---Thoughts? Kevin.
