BGCarerra... I detailed the problems in another thread. The car just started running funny on a long trip two days ago. I would be driving about 70 and all of sudden the RPMs would shoot up but the MPH stayed the same. One second later, the car would return to normal.

Then the next day while driving around town, Id accelerate and the car would start to rev, and then just temporarily die out (but not stall)....and then a second later would rev up and run fine.

Today I was accelerating onto the expressway and the car died. It wouldnt run again until it cooled down. Then it would start up, run for a short while and die again. I had it trucked back home.....and tonight I just simply replaced the DME relay and now it seems to be running fine. I hope this solved the problem, but you never know.

The reason I suspected DME chip is due to searching old archives in this forum, my cars symptoms mirrored others who had DME problems. Most of those guys spilled liquid on their DMEs and ruined them... i didnt spill any liquids.
