Thanks guys. I wrote NOS...course, I meant NOP.

Hmmm, Al, I considered a second ground but was concerned that it may 
cause a problem I would be unaware of.  Another testament to my 
ignorance, but learning and better everyday.  I shall see what I can do.

I think I may have over crimped this particular connector.  When I 
examined it, it seemed more cut than crimped.  Donno what caused that.  
I use a ratchet crimper and have not had problems before, however, most 
of my previous crimps were 20 gage and not 16, so I will check the tool 
and my process.

There was no strain on this particular wire.  It is the very short 
ground Tracy recommend, IIRC, to be shorter than 12 inches.  I relocated 
my ECU to accommodate this instruction.

<sigh>

All the best,

Chris
