    Check connection on the Digiplex located in the rear left of the trunk under the carpet, make sure body of the digiplex is grounded properly.

    In addition to what's been rec'd so far, clean the electrical contacts on the two connectors which link the digiplex wires to the engine wire harness ( located near the oil cooler). As noted, it's important to check the digiplex grund wire as well . On my old '85, it was very, very loose. Another common problem which can cause a bank to go out is a bad flywheel sensor.
