Temp. sensor is getting wet from water off the road.
I've tried several fixes for this.  THe best is to replace
the connector and the temp. sensor.    The next best thing
to do is clean everything in this area, and then water proof
some how.  All my attempts at water proofing have not
been 100 %, but have improved things.  My best
is to silicone seal everything....  BUt this makes timming
the engine a real pain...
