Awesome, I'm glad you found it too. Thanks, great news. Yeah, over twenty something years all kinds of things loosen up and happen. If you need any more information or help, just ask, on a side note: you may want to just take a look at the other ground locations too, especially in the engine compartment, you would be surprised what a bad ground can do.
This is on a different make and model truck, but a ground connection that was supposed to be on the starter motor had been moved to the engine block, and since the current flow was now going through the engine block and not directly back to the battery like it was designed to do, it magnetized the crankshaft and caused the crankshaft sensor to not detect the crankshafts position anymore. Fortunately, the technician who finally was able to diagnose the truck was a teacher, he was able to demagnetize the crankshaft reluctor wheel, but in most cases, the engine would be replaced due to a ground being put in the incorrect place.
Yours isn't designed like that, but this is why I stress the need to have good clean ground connections to people. It's a story I will never forget. But have a nice evening.
