[V8] ECU grounding, etc. (abridged)

Elapsed time has been over a month, yes, but I've had precious few
opportunities to get into any real diagnosis.  The only thing done prior
to the current condition was a simple 4.2 engine swap and complete body
repaint.

Of course that's tongue in cheek, but I've got no left over sensors or
wires, and dangit everything  seems to be where it's supposed to be.
And all signs have pointed to the ECU wiring, which wasn't messed with
for either job.

Yup, great spark on both sides.  Tell y'all what I'll do.  I'll swap out
the TPS and the MAF tonight w/ "hoped to be good" used ones.  Perhaps
I'm barking up the wrong path altogether, mixaphorically speaking...
