The brown ground wire from the Hall sensor in the distributor is under
a bolt on the left hand head beneath the air conditioning compressor and is
fine with good continuity.
After more fooling around yesterday I FINALLY have the problem solved.
Seems to have been a combination of problems. After pressure washing the
engine, which was part of the jobs to be done, the problem seemed to have gotten
worse. I opened up the air filter box and found water in the air filter.
Cleaned out the box, installed a new air filter and viola the problem went away.
I think the air filter was plugged but was not apparent. Looking at it at
the outset of diagnosis it seemed fine ! I'm not really sure this was the
culprit but it is working perfectly now and I have ran it and restated it many
times and driven it and it is fine. So........I'm not 100% sure what the problem
was.
