Chris,
I would be surprised if you didn't just solve a whole passel of problems
with your EC-2. There is not telling what that cut ground connection was
doing over the past. High resistance, intermittent, open..who knows.
Fixing this should make your EC-2 much more solid.

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

I agree, also if the wire can vibrate, do something to restrain it better.

Sounds like some strain relief is in order.

Oem solution for broken wire is brilliant. They use more than one wire for both ground and power. Huge improvement in reliability.

I looked at the wires to the ECU and all was secure, EXCEPT, I
notice my
main (16gage) ground wire broke at the connector at the ECU. Repaired
the wire.
