Thanks Steve, I will look for a ground solution to the flashing GP light on the dash. Yes, I had installed the new GPs (pencil style, large diameter) because the new relay box was installed by a PO, but the old loop style plugs were still in there (?). It starts much better now, but still has somewhat rough idle--lots of issues with this car I will be sorting out.
