Last summer I pulled all the ground bundles off of the driver's side of the
engine.  There are 2 grounding points on a 1.9 (as I remember), and they are
quite obvious.  I power wire brushed the engine at those points with my trusty
makita drill.  Then it was cut off all ground lugs on the wire bundles,
followed by brand new lugs.  Screw the lugs back in place.  Lastly a healthy
spray of Bullfrog cleaner/corrosion blocker.

I unplugged all engine connectors one at a time and used Bullfrog on them also.

All intermittant problems disappeared, it starts within 1 second even at 20
below zero, and my mileage went from 14.5 to just about 20.
