Loose Harness... which wire???
I've had this problem since i got my car and i can't figure out which wire is causing it. when the wire is loose, i get terrible bogging under load over 3k rpm because the car runs super rich. if i jiggle the harness around going into my power FC, the problem goes away, but only until the unknown wire shifts just so slightly and it comes back again. which wire would be causing this??? i believe i've narrowed it down to the most obvious harness (engine control), but its hard just to jiggle one wire by itself. it's driving me nuts!

don't know if this is going to work for sure but this is just some idea that just came to my mind, why don't you try to do a continuity test in each hole of the engine control harness connector with a multimeter, I am guessing that it could be a loose wire. So just jiggle the wire while you are testing it, you should get some change on the multimeter. Anyone else got better idea???

well unfortunatly i can't do a continuity test without connecting a test lead to the other ends of the wires and those are on the other side of the firewall plugged into various things.
