- I sprayed some electrical parts cleaner on some gnd connections and the reference and speed sensor connections. Tested the resistance of reference and speed sensor plugs.

Just to follow up on this intermittent stalling issue I mentioned along the way:
I didn't get any more stalling but I had a lot of non-start issues since the post above. I've been trying to debug it for a while now.
A couple of weeks ago, I narrowed it down to a no-spark-to-the-distributor issue. Checked the coil, wires, ref and pos sensors, etc. Finally, I took out the DME and re-soldered the big honking transistor with the heatsink at one edge of the board. (See:
DME Repaired w/pics - Rennlist Discussion Forums )
No non-start in the last week. Crossing my fingers that it'll stay that way.
