Red '89 SC
Registered User
I have a 89 SC, 135k, 5-speed, haven't had any significant problems until now. It was running perfectly until I went through a car wash with those high pressure under carriage washes. Turned the car off when I entered...came out with RPM at 2500 or so, and it settled to about 22-2300. Turned it off, and the tach zipped to 0 awful quick while the engine slowly shut down. Heard a hollow, "howling" type noise as it did. Started it up a few more times, same result, let it sit for a hour or so and tried again, same result.
Had it towed, mechanic is telling me it's a primary control module (the engine computer?)...and that it needed to be sent back to the manufacturer for a re-build as spares are no longer made or available. Pointers?
