[V8] Electrical starting gremlins

[Mike Del Tergo]

Ah, I wasn't sure what Ed meant.  I thought he meant a ground wire junction, not the Kostal connector.  Got lots of warning about this when I R&R'd the radiator.  It was so far out of the way when I pulled the bumper it took me a while to find it.  Not sure what the fuss was for, but opened, inspected, contact cleaned and put it back.  Would seem to have little to do with the starter etc as the engine ground is on the otherside of the car and that will get looked at.  I'm betting solenoid or ground, at which point, once it's out, I'm replacing the whole unit!
