My 'missing / cutting out' problem came back, so once again I started looking all over and after shutting off the car the other day I happened to put my hand on the wiring 'harness' coming out of the firewall on the drivers side.
It was <span style="font-weight: bold">HOT</span>.
I cut away the blue tape to reveal my white wire from the coil to the cockpit was the one getting really hot.
It was spliced into two other white wires going 'who knows where'.
One of these was a white wire that just headed out towards the front of the car. I know of nothing that direction that should be in that circuit so I cut it and started the car again, the wiring no longer gets hot.
What in the world was the DPO thinking? Why connect up wires to that circuit - I can't think of anything up in the engine compartment that should be on that circuit except the coil.
My cutting out problem was still there this morning, though it seemed about 75% less. I still have a problem, just not sure where. Have to find out where that other white wire is connected.
Never underestimate the powers of the DPO!!
