When the surgin would start, the rpms would range from 1000 (which it normal in park) all the way down to 300 and at that low the altenator wont do nothing, so runnin anything that draws power would put a drain on the system. When i would shut the car off and leave it be for a why and start it up like an hour later it would be back up to normal. I have pulled the cables a few times and there is no corrosion there. T he old plugs i took out were so worn that the gap was 0.080, the gap is suppose to be 0.045. Maybe the computer got so use to runnin at that gap that it aint able to reset it self. Hell i aint got a clue, that is why i am so confuzzled
Sounds like an eletric problem for sure look at the battery terminals. This is what happened with me a friend of mine told me to clean the terminals i notcied the Positive side of the battery had a wire going from the battery to another box that said AUX BAT and when i took the red plastic cover it was corroded like hell so i cleaned it off wit the terminal cleaning tool and used the CRC Battery cleaner on it i did this about 5 times and my car was running like it had a new wiring system put in it. so check that out and see our cars maybe different since i have a 95 and u have a 93 but see if the positive side of the battery cable goes to another box that might be the case.
