A huge storage battery like is in all modern cars acts as a great filter capacitor - but with resistance in series with the battery, that capacitance is depreciated. .

It is poor practice to so-loosely tie the battery thru the chassis to get to the block and it violates the basic filtering premise I talked about above. All three Crossfires I have owned got the mod described in the forum thread BEFORE issues arose.
Well I trust all your advice, so I need to get this done. I just got the 3 step seafoam treatment and allready notice a difference. Thanks again for the input.
