Hi all. I might have solved two problems at once. (CMP sensor and engine not shutting down after warming up) As they say, "all it takes was one" --- ;^) Tip: To save removing your newly installed wiring harness and having to tear away miles of electrical tape: http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/WiringTip2.jpg/WiringTip2-full;init:.jpg BEFORE you wrap it all up, just wind a couple wraps of tape around each section of the harness every 8" or so. Makes handling easier, but leaves it open for trouble shooting/reworking. If, like me, this isn't your forte (wiring), you will miss something. Like this: http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/WiringTip1.jpg/WiringTip1-full;init:.jpg I'm pretty sure this created the "no shut down" issue after running for a while. (wire is + from 15, ign +, to ECU. Part of same supply goes to the coil) I will post more of what I learned regarding wiring harnesses on my web site.
