yes relays can and will/have done that. overheated printed circuits AWA cold
welds etc. can easily lead to intermittent operation.

<DIV><BR></DIV>Larry, did it work afterwords, though? Once I came to a
stop, she fired right back up and ran fine for a few minutes, then went back
into the usual limp-mode.<BR>As for the knock sensor, new knock sensor,
cleaned connections, swapped knock box from a different 16V... no
fixes.<BR>So, although it sounds like the knock system, everything there is
ok. The only thing I need to confirm is that if there was a problem with
fuel, would it pull timing, or just stutter/stall?<BR><BR>> <BR>> From:

Wednesday, December 18, 2002 7:08 PM<BR>> Subject: Is this
possible as my problem?<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> My 16V, which
likes to run in limp-mode most of the time, took a real shit the other
night... It lost power while I was driving it like usual (feels like when you
switch on the AC, only much more abrupt). SO I downshifted and gave it
throttle... NOTHING, not even a noise. (Lights were still on as if engine was
NOT stalled.) Downshifted again, and it just stalled as I rolled to a
stop.<BR>> So, could it be a fuel related problem - like
something clogging a line somewhere, then floating away (when power comes
back, or when I shut the car off). There is no stuttering to my car, the
timing just gets pulled. Would a fuel clog cause my timing to be pulled
- I thought it would just make the car stutter???<BR>> <BR>>
