help, engine light comes on after warmup??
91 convertable, just started this problem. After about ten minutes running, engine light comes on and pedal response is like its out of gas. When I turn it off and back on, will run normal for a few minutes then same thing. Alternator seems to be charging. any ideas please

Sounds like a bad OMP and the car is going into limp mode. Have you tried running codes yet? If it is the OMP then the check engine light will come on when you open up the throttle and it will put the car into limp mode.

Im not positive, but it sounds like the OMP. And it doesn't always take the ECU out with it. I had a bad problem with my OMP and the previous owner did too for over a year and my ECU still works fine.
