Re: 91 rs help

Welcome to the boards...you will find alot of information here and alot of nice helping people who have crazy passions for our cars :-)

First off man im sry you fell for the "new computer line"...mechanics LOVE to use that one to ppl cause they know ppl are scared of car computers...so im sry for that one....but make sure you have a good tune up first(do it yourself!)...

Then if i had to guess i would say that your coolant temp sensor is bad...if the car thinks the motor is over heating it will shut off injector flow so you dont blow the thing up. That would be my first guess...check that out after a tune up and we will go from there.
