HELP with my check engine light!!!

I have an 89 auto vert with 88,*** with a rebuild at 80,000 says the previous owner. It happened once before back when and I didn’t really think anything of it until now.

I was driving home from the store in some heavy rain, so I wasn’t pushing it (but before the storm I was running a road flat out.) so the check engine light would occasionally come on just for a second and some times it wouldn’t cut off till I let of the gas. Some times going up a hill at a constant speed/RPM I could very slightly feel a change in pulling power (slow down/speed up) ever so slightly.

By the time I got home I hade the assumption maybe it is only at certain loads on the engine and hoping that it was something as simple as a sensor, but I’m no expert, slap me if I’m wrong.

But basically I haven’t really checked anything out yet due to its still pissing down rain. So if any one can give me a diagnostic off of what info I gave it would be just great. If any more info is needed to more specifically place the rhyme for reason I can try to provide.


These are the current mods that im running so far \/ \/ \/

Pull the error codes according to the instructions in the FAQ and then check the code definition in the factory manual. Links to the factory manual are also in the FAQ.
