Check engine light (sporadic)and buck on accel
 
Hi, I have a 90' gxl and recently swapped in a 89' , everything was fine for the first say 3,000 miles... but now I'm getting an occasional Check Engine Light Flicker and when it happens I can accelarate or I'm met with bucking.
I know this is electrical because it happens sporadically and I've even managed to figure out a way to fix it while in motion, (hit clutch, shut off engine, either re-start or roll start)....usually works for a little while and I get full power back until the light flickers again....

Ive checked the main grounds at the starter and along the tower. Ive replaced the ECU ground by the intake.... if i remove the green 2 pronged wire below that ground i get a solid CEL which causes less erratic behavior...

Anybody have any idea's?? I'm new to rotary's and the local mechanic where I'm at took a look at it, changed the wires and gave it back to me,lol...... doing the same thing.... so pretty sure hes clueless too.

If the check engine light came on then the ECU has a code stored.
