[DMCForum] Re: Engine status

Rich - I've lost track of where you've been with this exercize, so 
forgive me if this is something you've already done.  There is a 
main ground stud that gathers up several ground wires that is 
located behind the vertical carpeted panel at the rear of the parcel 
shelf.  The stud is on the passengers side, near the top.  Have you 
taken that joint apart and cleaned everything there?  One of the 
local club members had a loose connection there, and it raised all 
manner of hell with his car until he found and corrected it.  The 
stud that collects all of the positive wires in the area, and also 
is the stud for jumping the car is also near there, just around the 
corner and further aft of the ground stud.  From your description 
below, this might be the area that you're working in, but I'm not 
quite sure ...

over and I might help out a few other owners as well.  The wiring 
diagram indicates that the white/slate wire from the ECU splits off 
to many points (i.e. coil, tach, RPM relay). Can anyone tell me 
where this junction point is?
