- Electrical glitch causing it to intermittently stall out/run rough (traced to a mystery bare wire shorting to ground against the pedal assembly).
- CEL codes:
(A) frequent P0455 for an evap leak
(B) P0400 for EGR -- I cleaned the valve, but it came back. Need to roto-rooter the passages, I guess.
(C) P0420 for catalyst -- this one popped up a few weeks ago. Hasn't come back since resetting.
Is it reasonable to complain about the reliability of a $1000, 20 year-old car? It's led a pretty charmed life - lots of care & maintenance from its 4-owner string of owners.

Is the “Electrical glitch” the problem in this thread?

If so, care to elaborate/update for us?
