CEL is on when the key is in the "ON" position before starting.

CEL is not on when I now try to start the car, it cranks, idles at ~200 then dies 2-3 seconds later. At which point it comes on again, as if the car was not started at all.

This was not happening on a flat surface.

Rechecked all fuses, look fine, checked all the electrical connections I could find in the engine bay, all looks fine.

Last time this happened(previous thread) it would be noticeably boggy on hills, till it finally gave up on a rather straight road.

Today is not cold like last time.
