Is it possible that this could be a sticky valve?
Yes, I thought this problem would have worsened (therefore, been diagnosed by now!) or I would have found some obscure loose ground, broken wire, or some wise SVXer would have just told me by now what this was! INTERMITTENT SUCKS!
Beav suggested to hold off on replacing ECU because he says they rarely fail. Someone told me I could find one for about $100. I've wanted to try, but am currently hard up enough financially to hesitate to "throw" another $100. part at the SVX!
Beav DID suggest taking this car to a good mechanic, but after my dealer experience in 11/02 (tried to sell me new AT for this problem!), and after running it by several other mechanics, no one has really any idea where to begin >> ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS INTERMITTENT!! I can't take my car to someone for a week or two while we wait for the intermittent symptoms and their EVENTUAL diagnosis!
HHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
