Subject:Re: Pigtail needed_looking for add'l grounds

Dennis,

Where are these located on the '89 Westfalia?  I've cleaned up the 2
ground locations under the coil, also the 1 on the distributor, the
braided ground strap on the #3/#4 head, the ground on the transmission.
Any of these the bundled ground you refer to?
Also, don't recall seeing a ground at the ECU, wasn't looking for one when
I pulled it out, so I may have simply overlooked it. Is it under the ECU
or somewhere else?

From the factory there is a dedicated chassis ground at the ECU connector.
There is a bundled ground in the fuel injection harness. Sometimes there
are failures there.

from Dennis suggestion and after the capacitor fix I would suggest to add
a
aground strap to the ECU - under the bench seat run a ground strap/wire to
the body.
