2. Test the basics first: battery, grounds, fuel quality, connectors, vacuum leaks, air filter and recent work.
3. If intermittent, move the loom gently while monitoring the symptom. Do not pull hard; you are looking for clues, not creating new faults.
4. Replace parts only when a measurement or repeatable test points to them.
