I spoke with Larry before you did.  I suspect his problem is dirty or loose
contacts on the big plus that goes into the fuel injection computer.  If I
were closed, I would bring VOM, electrical schematics, and small wire
contact cleaning brushes.

If I were pulling parts from a parts van, I would bring the mail FI cable
and just in case, the cable that runs between Hall detector and idle
stabilizer.
