92 acclaim check engine light goes on and off

Those type of problems usually indicate a bad ground somewhere. Try checking all grounds for corrosion/looseness.

as mentioned, poor grounding could be the cause, cleaning the battery terminals while looking for loose ends / poor grounding might turn up something.

but, more than likely it is a weak sensor on that older model car. you might replace the sensor / relay, or both if either applies.

do the key diagnosis thingy, see what you comes up with, it might give you a lead.

good luck,

I'd take a look at the last tech that worked on your vehicle - sounds like he/she may have forgotten something - perhaps a resistor!! Chrysler products use resistors instead of extra wires - electrical issues are not uncommon with Chrysler, Plymouth or Dodge Vehicles.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I get a 12 a 47 and then 55 for the trouble codes

does that help at all??

Yep.

Go get your battery and your alternator load-tested, and carefully inspect all three topside connections on your battery cables (positive and negative cable terminal clamps on the battery, and the plastic pull-apart connector about 7" downstream from the battery in the positive cable). You will probably need a new battery; yours probably has a dead cell.

Horseshit. There's no such a thing as "using resistors instead of extra wires", and even if there were, Chrysler products don't.

Right.

Not in a '92 Acclaim, they don't.

Nope, because the "info" you provided is thoroughly inapplicable to the vehicle under discussion.

Bahh...Pulling foot from mouth --> Wasn't thinking

...unless the particular '92 Acclaim in question has cruise control. That is the one and only place where resistive MPX is used, starting in '92, on the AA-bodies. And it's quite reliable in that application!
