It only takes a minute or two to add another ground to the two brown wires to the connector. That one will really mess with the instruments.

The van seems be running smoother and the idle is better. Problem is now the oil light, alt light and ox light are all flickering. I took all the wires off again, cleaned even more than back on and the flickering was gone for 5 minutes but came back. The alt and O2 flicker dimly together and the oil light comes on bright and flickers at a different rate than the other 2.  They do not do this when idling, mostly when accelerating.   Which wires should I investigate?
