Phil,

You seemed to hit the nail on the head with this one.....after unbolting
the ECU from its hiding place under the rear bench seat of my westy, I
disconnected it and then went on the trail of the ground wire. As you said,
it disappears under the counter and water tank. So I improvised...I spliced
in a second ground wire and attached it to the 13mm bolt that holds the
face plate to the rear bunk in place.

Put everything back together...put the ing. key, turned it and heard the
fuel pump go off...started it up and it ran! Well actually I still have
this nagging extremely-rich-at-start-up-for-one-minute problem but, hey it
runs!!

Thanks Phil, and thanks to everyone else who put their 2 cents in.
