check the harness going to the temp sensors and shit. also check the plug wires for breaks. maybe its grounding out on the engine or something.

a test the could and probably will put you on your ass, is grab each wire when the cars running till you get the tazer hit and fall on your ass. then you know what the problem is.

I take no responsibility if this inflicts serious injury.

or maybe take a multimeter and check the resistance and for breaks in the wires.

It was funny, since my car was stuttering and driving like shit, i said, i had ought to chek timing. I clipped it to plug wire one. and the thing wasnt working. I put it on the second one, and it worked. I never thought about it again.

Then one day I decided to check the resistance in my wires. the first one was shot. I used a spart plug wire from an old 351 and voila. Ran beautifully.

Then it all hit me when checking my timing lol

Man, I miss the days of NA simplicity.
