I concentrated a lot of my "loose wire testing" around the distributor/TFI module with no luck. I've tugged and tapped on the TFI itself with no luck in reproducing the problem. I have also inpected the EEC connection when I swapped computers, but didn't notice anything unusual.

What really throws me off is why the ECT drops down and slowly climbs back up.

I thought it could be the ECT sensor dropping out and some how causing the EEC to do weird stuff with the timing. I tried pulling the connector while the motor was running, but the datalog just shows the ECT staying at the same position it was in. I bought a new sensor to try, but I haven't put it on yet.
