Pin #19 is the sensor ground. If you have two wire CLT and IAT sensors, their grounds (and the TPS ground) should run back to the DB37's pin #19 to reduce the potential for noise in the sensor signals."

Thanks for this, I originally ran the engine block ground cable to the firewall-side of a groundbolt. On the cabin-side I ran each of those ground wired separately as instructed to the same groundbolt. I get 0ohm resistance from the engine to the groundbolt. My tuner then suggested also running a ground from the battery to that same groundbolt, which I did. None of these changes made a difference in the voltage fluctuations.
Then I switched in a standard lead-acid battery...no change in the voltage fluctuations.
Then I switched in another fan/alternator assembly...no change in the voltage fluctuations...
Anyone see strange voltage fluctuations on megasquirt? I seem to have eliminated the battery and the alternator as sources of the voltage swings. BTW this whole time my fluke multimeter shows a solid 13.6v while running. Its only megasquirt logs that show that weirf voltage swinging.
