Your car has the abilty to retreve the trouble codes with out a scanner, so lets start there turn the key on but do not crank the engine then turn key off then turn key on then turn key off and then back on ( key on-off-on-off-on ) the power loss light will start to flash count the flashs all codes willl be 2 diget ( flash-flash pause flash-flash-flash = code 23 ) get back with me with the codes and i will look them up and see if we can get to the bottom of the problem.

My Chilton book doesn't have a lot on vehicle specific emission controls. What I did find is this. Apparently the "loss if power light" will turn on if the temp sensor wire has been removed and then reattached. Have you recently done work at the thermostat? The temp sensor is mounted on the thermostat housing. To turn the "loss of power light" off, disconnect the positive battery terminal and then re-attach it. No waiting. Start the engine and then shut it off. After that turn the key ON and OFF several times to clear any fault codes in the computer. This may help because stored codes make the computer think the problem still exists and it reacts accordingly. Hope this helps.

Engine stalling

Hello doncoth...very low mileage for an 88 aries and i doubt that anything serious is going on.
In 88 these engines were carbureted, not fuel injected & majority of the stalling problems were fuel system related on these cars,
like a broken or split vacuum hoses allowing air to be sucked into the intake manifold. Unmetered air changes the fuel mixture, and can cause a stalling problem..
Since the check engine light is coming on we need to find out what the trouble codes are.
To get the codes, put the key in the ignition and turn the key to the "run" position until all the dash lights come on (DO NOT START) Have your paper and pen ready to take notes.
Turn key back "off",then to "run" again,"off" again and then back to "run " and leave it there.....The check engine light will begin flashing....It will flash a 2 digit code....For instance,2 blinks followed by a pause,then 1 more blink would be code "21"....The last code displayed will be 55 (test is over) From that information we can determine the cause of the condition. The codes can be read here>>>> http://www.allpar.com/fix/codes/index.html the list is at the bottom of the page. Let me know what you find. I'll be glad to help you.
Good luck and i hope this helps.
