The one I bought cost $20 at AAP. Thanks for the tip; I'll check and see what brand it is.

Hey, I'm grasping straws, so I appreciate any direction that you can point me in.... no matter how far fetched it may seem.

This has also happened without the laptop hooked up. It's also weird that the ACT stays normal while the ECT fluctuates.

I've got a DataQ that I can tap into the EEC power circuits. I can use it to datalog in the WinDaq software -- that way, I can see if the power relay maybe causing an issue.
