still having problems with the 8v



Only under load problems are a bitch. It's hard to replicate and still stand
next to it. Have you considered an electrical short that only happens when
the engine rocks back and forth? Try moving the harnesses around. What about
the Hall sender wires? The O2 sensor wire pinched?

Lots of luck
