I was away last week on business. My son drove it without any problems, so I'm optimistic.
The big test will be tomorrow's full commute.

Well, it appears to be fixed! To work and back and I was showing my tail lights to ricers all over town.
I guess the ECU was on the way out. That never happened to me like that before. Normally they just quit.

Glad you got it sorted out.
there are different modes, and conditions that it will respond to. It could work perfectly fine until it reaches a point where it switches over to a mode that may have a broken or loose component in the computer itself. glad it worked out for you!

it is possible that some of the solder joints in the original ECU are cracked. With heat, they become open or intermittent. Considering the age involved, the vibrations from the engine, and the number of heat/cold cycles the car has gone through in its lifetime (all of which contribute solder joint cracking/failures), this is a very real possibility.
