Steve,

There are 2 "community" ground points under the coil with 4 or 5 wires
each (usually brown), the fuel pump ground is a single ground on a small
stud on the forward sheet metal above the engine and the Digifant
control module(DCM) uses a single ground located near the DCM under the
rear seat.

I'm leaving tomorrow morning for a trip to visit family for, you guessed
it - Father's Day. If you want to run your symptoms by me again, I'll
give you my best shot before leaving. I know this is irritating to hear
but as I remember your symptoms, they pointed to something very
basic(easy for me to say, my 2 Syncros start and run fine!)like a
cracked coil tower or excesssive secondary resistance. You should remove
the ignition coil(two 6mm bolts)to inspect and the Digifant grounds,
while the coil is in your hands check the integrity of the primary and
secondary connections........ Since you're checking grounds, is the
engine/transmisson assembly properly grounded ? Is the transmission
ground strap in perfect condition ? The only way worth a damn to check a
connection dynamically is voltage drop. Are you using voltage drop as a
diagnostic tool ?

I hope I've helped you, it would be a shame to miss a Father's day
celebration due to a piss-ant but strategic Vanagaon fault.
