Hmm. You got me thinking there. I get 13.5v at idle at the battery, but
when I was reinstalling my AAR this weekend I was getting around 11V at
the AAR wire. I also was getting 10.5-11V at the coil when I was going
through my ignition saga.

The car has been starting great, but it seems to be a little erratic
once warmed. What if the FI brain is getting this voltage- it would run
like a car with a bad VR, right?
