did you wind up with that solution tracking down a problem? Why did you put that in?

JohnJL: It was part of the original planning after reading the MS documentation. There was a recommendation that a capacitor put in parallel with the power supply would dampen, or eliminate, stray voltages in the power supply. It acts on the stray voltages but is inert if there are no stray voltages. And Porsche put it into their 944 EFI systems as a regular component, so I just copied their idea. It has screws for electrical connectors and is easy to install. Mine is mounted on the left side of the engine support bar, near the power supply that I incorporated into the design. I have no idea if it works or not -- I have not had any power problem -- but the theory is solid and it just might aid you in solving your problem.
