Thanks, all good points, 911.

I cleaned my ground connection this summer. and I reamed the holes when I installed the new plugs. My ignition switch is brand new. I swapped out the OE relay for one of those Hungarian ones that is a few months old.

I did not look at the engine to body ground, come to think of it: where is it? On my Volvos it was right up front and center, a big strap from the back of the valve cover.

Ground was taken off and cleaned today. Looked fine.

Temps have now spiked up over norma for this time of year after being very low, so it may be hard to tell if there is any difference (on cold starts).
