When I installed my new engine, I cleaned up all the electrical connections and re-assembled with di-electric grease. No problems so far. Jay

After 18 years, every time I disconnect an electrical part (fuel injectors, Temp2 sensor, etc...) the nice rubber boot that protected the connector from the weather disintegrates in my hand. Last week I changed out the Temp 2 and the boot fell apart. This morning we had a "Hollywood rain storm and my Westy was running really funny. Coincidence? I think not. So what do I do to replace these boots and seal up my connections again.
