'89 5.0 TPI in a FB Formula

Car ran fine to work. Trying to leave work engine would start/die, finally stayed running but ran rough. Had to "pump" accelerator to get moving w/o stalling. "Service Engine Soon" light 'on'.

Once warmed up engine ran fine but during the 45 minute drive home the Service light would cycle between on steady, flashing, or off.

Now the computer will not go into it's dianostic mode. The fans come on but the light just stays on steady. And engine is start/dieing as the night before.

I would think the start/die might be the water temp sensor (for the computer) except for the fact the computer will not go into test mode.

Any ideas?????

Thanks,
DanC
