Ok, so here's what I've figured out so far. The battery is fine, the 
alternator is fine, tested both in and out of the car, but it seems that 
any electrical load wants to kill the engine. It will idle ok 90% of the 
time with no lights, no defrost, no radio, no A/C and heat, no fog 
lights. As soon as I turn any of those on, the engine will dip like it 
normally does but instead of the idle coming back up like it's supposed 
to, it just stays low and dies. I ordered a new camshaft sensor 
because... well hell, they're cheap and I probably could use a new one 
anyway but I'm pretty sure it's my computer now. The computer is in 
charge of adjusting idle settings to respond to loads, right? Well, I 
don't think it's doing that, and I think it might have happened when the 
positive battery cable worked its way off the post after a bad bump and 
was intermittently contacting the terminal; I think it might have 
scrambled the computer.

Does anybody have a spare D4U computer?

Jason
