Hi
Please help!
Would love to have your opinions on this problem I am having..
Was away for a week just there and after gettin bak jumped in the Rex for a spin, took a few minutes to start (usually first turn) and then ran very lumpy for a while. Also car lost all power under light throttle a few times, felt like i had hit the brakes!!!
Once warmed up it seemed ok.
Later that day went out to do a bit of festive shopping and noticed that the digital mileage display was blank, backlight was on but no digits... and car started cutting out when i hit 2550rpm and when it reached 3600rpm, after a while the digits re-appeared and car ran normal.... exact same happened on way to work and back!!!! when the display works, the cars works????/
The car is standard, 65000miles and has been running not too bad recently... please would appreciate any ideas!!!
its a 1993, standard ecu...

Sounds like a possible earthing problem mate, also could be your batterys not charging properly or not holding charge, time to get out the multimeter I think.

How do I go about finding the earthing problem? what can i look for?
How have you checked the battery and alternator?
Garage did it with voltmeter... showed 12.7 while ignition off and 14.? with engine running. Also checked under constant revs and with a/c heated rear screen and full beam etc. on. All was reported fine!?????
