The area where if I move it it momentarily resolves is where the loom goes under the MAF sensor to the front of the engine.
There are no obvious signs of wear from the outside. The outer corrugated black plastic sheath appears good and is still in one piece as are all the supporting clips. The loom is properly supported where it clips onto the air-intake adjacent the throttle body.
I have rolled back the mesh around the loom where it comes out of the connector and I can identify the twisted pair of thermostat wires. They look sound but I am reluctant to take the ECU connector apart.
I think I have probably reached the limit of my knowledge and ability with the tools I have so I am going to call an auto-electrician and ask him or her to look at it. I think this might be a case where an expert with the right tools could save me hours of work and frustration
I live in Suffolk if anybody has any recommendations for an auto-electrician. Otherwise it is google and yellow pages.
