Thank you David.  It's always so much fun deferring to a more better
informed opinion.  One of the great things about this list is learning
something new all the time.  So, the old problem I had which would be fixed
by turning off the key and restarting the engine might have been fixed by
this snazzy wiring harness extension if I had used it before replacing the
old AFM w/ a rebuilt?   AH, ok.   And the new IPL that I am experiencing,
which is not solved by restarting the engine, is not being caused by the new
AFM and is being caused by some other factor.  Makes sense.  And begins to
verify the idea that the "intermittent power loss" syndrome may be the
result of a sequence of casually linked events,.being caused by several
factors at the same time.  Hence, it may not be a situation where you fix
one thing and cure the problem.  No magic bullet.  Makes sense.  How you
making-out w/ the smoking problem?  I think I must have missed if it is
black smoke or blue.
