 I think you're on the right track with the grounds; they're a common sourc
of problems of all types on these vehicles.  Aging grounds, loose terminals,
split rubber boots, baked wire insulation, cracked wire strands, loose
crimps, loose connectors (at the injector), salt/ water getting onto and
into these pieces, etc. Overall condition of these critical circuits is
possibly the key to your problems (and many others', including myself!).

HTH,

Mike B.
