Default Renix Computer dieing signs?

What are the sign's that your computer in a Renix XJ is dieing?

Mine ideals like crap, stalls, cut's out and just plan runs likes Doo Doo...

Replaced and adjusted TPS and replaced Ideal air controller..

Sounds like a MAP or the vacuum line going to it, or the wiring for it...

That's one of the few things I have not checked..

I did check vacuum lines and can't find a leak any where.

Is there a way to test a MAP sensor?

Wow, that website was REALLY helpful. I like how it showed realistic pictures of things. How they look on a REAL and used engine rather than just a drawing or picture of a perfect clean engine.

Great site!

I ended up finding a VERY large vacuum line off...

Seems to have fixed all my issues..
