Didja ever figure this one out? As a veteran of electrical troubleshooting, I was curious about how, exactly, you determined it was, like you said so strongly, intermittent short to ground within the harness.

You may be fully qualified to say that, but you'd be one of a very few on this board. As for usual causes? There's really only one: someone had something out, and put it back in, pinching the wire. Intake manifold? Heater core? This is rarely a case of rodent damage. You say it is "the ungrounded lead" but that sensor has two. You say it is the one to the computer -- which computer?

Jorrell has you covered on the AC, I'd say. As for the high side port, it is interesting to hear the 93's didn't get one with an R134 fitting. What were they thinking? Hard enough to reach the gauge ports on the compressor with screw-on fittings.

You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
