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!).

Hi Mike

Yes, The grounds were the first place I went. I re tightened and even replaced the connector on the one at the head (hall sensor ground)

I am not usually one to like replacing factory wire connectors on speculation alone. I better have a second look at all those grounds again for voltage drop and maybe just put all new connectors on.
