I 'd like to hear from those who've had the lean burn control module fail and what symptoms you experienced along the way if any. The earlier versions, 76-80 had electrical fail issues, and I know in the 80's they seemed to have sorted them out. I had recently gone through my 77 LeBaron and it has never run better. I don't use the car regularly but do leave it on a battery tender. I drove the car 2 weeks ago and it ran great! Last week I took it to the grocery store and the moment I got on the road, I could tell something was amiss. Flat throttle, very low power and if I tried to accelerate it bogged badly. Made it to the store but on the way home it seemed worse. I had to play with the gas pedal and keep speeds very low. I made a right turn and the engine died out. I coasted to the curb, popped the hood and looked down the carb throat. I thought it was a fuel problem but the entire system was new. A couple of mins later the car fired up but was still no where near correct. Made it home,...barely! It appeared to be in a "limp" mode but still not sure. Car has been in the family since new and have had these modules fail in the past. Last one I got several years ago was from Rock Auto as a reman. I'm still not 100% sure it's the module and am checking fuel press and carb but from what I remember this resembles past module failure. Thanks.....Mike
