96 models still used the same style harness (slightly different BUS and
sensors though). Wouldn't hurt to check. What's the fuel pressure running
and then right after shut-off?

I thought that also but the splice problem (IIRC) applies to the OBD I
trucks only. My '96 is OBD II. However I did have that exact problem on my

'93. Is somebody know if this applies to a '96, please let me know.
Thanks!
