Hi, I have been getting a Check Engine Light only when I accelerate when I drive, once I let off the gas the light goes out. Any thoughts on where to start troubleshooting - The car is old 88 t-bird V8 169K miles - I really don't notice any serious issues caused from it, I am thinking it may be a pressure issue, like a vacuum leak or fuel injection problem. Your thoughts??? Thanks, Tony
probably egr related; once you get the charging prob fixed have the codes read out.

If you have a little piece of wire, you can check the codes yourself...
Hook up the wire, get in, turn the key to "on" (not start) and count the flashes.
Here's a car with code 23 "now" and 46 "continuous" (in memory).....
******.......*.*...*.*.*.....*.*....*.*.*.........*..........*.*.*.*....*.*.*.*.*.*.....*.*.*.*....*.*.*.*.*.*Ignore initial flashing, 2, 3, pause, 2, 3, big pause, 1, big pause, 4, 6, pause, 4, 6
