I've been having a crazy problem with my '89 LX the past few weeks. It's not a problem that happens constantly, but it is one that bothers me and makes me wonder exactly what's going on.
The car starts fine, runs fine, and this problem happens only when my rear end leaves the drivers seat. The car completely stalls out. The radio loses power, and I can hear what I assume is the fuel pump relay clicking. Note that this problem doesn't happen everytime I leave the seat, but it does happen often enough to where it gets rather annoying to me. (Expecially if I leave the car and want to leave it running.)
I replaced the relay under the drivers seat thinking that was the problem. The problem still persists though. Is there a ground near/under the seat that would kill all power to the engine? Or am I completely looking in the wrong area to solve my problem? When the car loses power it gets it right back. The car starts back immediatley after it quits.
It's a true 5.0 car with a 5 speed transmission if that bit of information helps any.
