RE: "Limp home" mode?

["Dupree, Jim" <dupree@alldata.com>]

Common problem is the fuse for the CIS-E system, fuse  #22 along the
side  in the fuse box. 
It looks like a spare 10amp fuse and often gets used as one and
"suddenly and mysteriously" the car runs poorly. 
The computer is rarely the problem on thee cars.
