Default Something to beat me up about

Could use a hand trying to find out if Michelles car has a computer problem. Matt did some diagnostics and suspects the computer is at fault. The car still runs well. I swaped one for a test but was not able to take the car back to Matt for his bit of magic. I could not tell any difference between the two cars. It is a 87 Carrera. I have thought about sending the computer off for an exchange but I don't trust the vendors.

Your next question is "what is it doing?". Simple answer, as I remember, is it is running a little rich and not fully responding to the O2 sensor input, but to tell you the truth, I don't accurately remember, it was a year ago.

Do you have a spare 87 computer I could borrow for a few days?
