Hi Darcy,
A ground that gave me some very interesting problems is the little wire from
the negative battery terminal to a 1/4" spade terminal on the cowl next to
the battery. I had all sorts of weird things happening like very slow
wipers, gauges that didn't read correctly, etc. Got so bad I didn't dare
drive it at night!
Using a wire with alligator clips on each end I could see a little spark
when clipping it between the battery post and a body part. Once in place
everything came back to life. You could use a volt meter instead of the
jumper wire set to DC volts- any reading over a few tenths of a volt is bad.
The final fix was to clean the spade terminal on the cowl and add a light
gauge braided ground strap from the battery to one of the wiper motor
mounting bolts.
I have an air/fuel ratio meter that now works nicely.
