Have you checked the ground wire from the right motor mount to the frame?? It has also been suggested that you use another ground wire from the frame to the transmission tail housing, which I plan to do when I get around that area again. also the original batt. ground cable will ca rode, inside itself, & cause that problem. Have a great day. Gene
