Intermittent Failures
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante, 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT, and 1996 Dodge Stealth. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Intermittent failures may cause MIL to flicker or come on and go out after intermittent DTC goes away. However, corresponding DTC will be retained in PCM memory. If related DTC does not reoccur within a certain time frame, related DTC will be erased from PCM memory. Intermittent failures may be caused by a sensor, connector or wiring problems. See INTERMITTENTS in TESTS W/O CODES article.
