Fixed my eratic idle problem

I thought I would add my fix for an eratic idle to the archives. In my case after replacing the FCA and high pressure sensor for around $400 it found the problem was the harness for the high pressure Pricol gauge. I wish I would have checked the wiring first, but at least I have some new sensors

. I could wiggle the wires and make the motor stumble on command. I reconnected the factory hook up and all is good. I have to call Genos in the morning and hopefully I can get a free replacement harness. I hope so since that gauge was expensive.
