hi i have a 87 6000 with the 2.5 cyl its a grat car but i have notcied lately that if im sitting at a stoplight my car will start running rough then the check engin light comes on( the more electrical things i use the faster it will come on) but if i put in in nuteral and rev it a little it will go away.

Find out what the CEL code is and post back way too vague a question to give any comprehensive help.

If a scanner is used there should be a history code.

Could be caused by a rich mixture, flooding injector, poor vacuum to the map sensor, excess fuel pressure to name a few . Engine missfire.
