I haven't signed in for awhile - got the car fixed fine, something had loosened up on the CAI (maybe part of why it was sounding super-charged when we were on the Dragon?) & and caused the CEL & stalling. They said they did a preventative tightening all around the CAI, too.

I still haven't fixed my turn signals yet... They seem to work 1/2 a day, then quit for the day. That's working just enough so they don't seem urgent (especially in FL with its crazy lack of requiring tun signals in driving).
 
I didn't think of a bulb because the indicators, both sides' turn signals & flashers all have the same symptoms (at the same time): work/not work/work/not work ..... can a bulb cause that? (Also my Coug's bulb-out idiot-light isn't coming on, so the computer doesn't think a bulb's burned out.) Now I've got a few minutes on-line I figure to post in NECO Problems, & see if anyone recognizes the symptoms.

Hey marge it could be one of three things, jst had the same thing happen on my work truck. It could be a relay going out, a bad ground, or in the worst case a bad switch.
 
OK, dumb question here: Is a relay a fuse? From my owner's manual it sounded like it...

BTW, Peggy's cell phone is broken.... anyone who's been unable to reach us can call mine
