Check the Wiring harness and the three pin connector at the coil pack. As these vehicles age so some of the wiring might become brittle. We have had one Rocam that the section of the harness to the three pin connector plug, that there was an intermittant open circuit at one of these wires. To test this, dis connect the Computer box, Use an Multu-meter set on Ohms , connect the one terminal of the multi-meter to the ECU side pin and connect the other to the Coil pack side terminial and move the wires about and see if there is any open circuit. Next, try the other wires. To check short to ground, Ground the one multi-meter wire and probe firs the one wire and then the next. If there is a readying during this test, you know that one of the return wires is shorting to ground..
