I switched the CPS and AMM connector lube from dielectric silicone to Penetrox, and it is not conductive. I'm guessing all the bad reports about after market CPS being rubbish might be shoddy unplated connectors and crappy shielding.

This week I placed a snap ferrite designed for larger RG-8/ RG-213 coax
on the CPS harness and slid it down to the bell housing. The CPS is NOT grounded to the grounded bell housing... seems like a Volvo oversight.
I've emailed Palomar Engineers for any suggestions of extra shielding for
CPS and AMM harnesses and haven't heard back yet. The intermittent weirdness could be from strong RF nearby getting on a poorly shielded CPS or AMM harness.

>I use eggnog to halt corrosion. By the bucket! Moar eggnog!

Whoa! Santa, too much eggnog and you'll look like Mr. Creosote!

>Happy Fryday during the moar eggnog holidayze!

Amen, Bill
