Yes I was determined to find it however long it took. Tuning will be a different story though.

Well I actually found the problem and it's embarrassing. A couple months ago if even that long I replaced the master cylinder with a Wilwood unit and the booster rod was too long. I ended up removing the booster and in doing so I dropped the steering column and must have unclipped the harness to the ignition switch being unaware but didn't unattach all the way. Maybe after a couple drives it worked itself loose b/c that was it. All that work for a simple clip not seated all the way. Oh I learned a few things along the way and I guess that's all that maters.

Something for all of use to remember when something shows up shortly after other work being done.

There are quite a few threads on the forum where vehicles are now experiencing issues after something unrelated was done.
