Intermittent Failures
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Eagle Talon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Intermittent failures may cause MIL to flicker or illuminate and go out after intermittent failure goes away. However, the corresponding diagnostic trouble code will be retained in ECM memory. Intermittent failures may be caused by a sensor, connector or wiring related problems. An intermittent condition may be checked by wiggling wiring to component or moving of a component.
