RedTele58's post got me thinking (dangerous thing). I'm not too sure it is a connector issue, but it could still be a wiring issue, but this is where I need help understanding the wiring & coils.

When looking at the diagram the coil has 3 wires. 1 is +12v, 2 is ground. 3 goes to 42 welding point WL Motor, which I think goes to a relay if I am reading things right. The same ground is shared with coil 1-3, SAI pump motor & engine intake cooling fan motor. This ground is located right by the AOS & the outside corner of the intake manifold. Verified that it has 5 ground wires.

So, big question. If I disconnect that ground wire from the engine, should that wire still have ground connectivity? If I am reading the diagram right I dont think it should.

My question is if the gp 12 is disconnected from the motor, should there still be ground connectivity between those ground wires and ground?
