I had a similar problem with my '91. It turned out the computer
was going screwy. It would generate a series of error codes,
the dealer checked all of the items out, everything was fine.
Then the computer would generate a completely different set
of error codes after the reset. This went on for about 2 weeks.
Finally it was determined with a swap, that the original computer
was the culprit. I didn't want to pay the $500 price for the
SMEC (I think that's what it was called-- for a pre Magnum V8
engine).
Check the computer contacts, and make sure that they aren't
coroded, or have moisture.
