    Probably not gona see anything when it's not acting up but when I say voltage drop I meant one lead to the fuse and the other to Battery Positive.

    Ideally we would have a 4 channel scope on 4 different spots in the circuit to see where out voltage drop is occurring in one go instead of checking things one at a time and hoping it acts up when we're testing.

    Gotcha, I have 3 good digital meters and two old analog meters. I unplugged every connector in the system and no burnt wires. I'm sure you are correct the MAF is not the problem. I replaced the fuel injection relay with a new one. I had a couple of new spares. I also unplugged the remote start. I know it's a lot of change at one time but elk season is rapidly approaching. I will retest the voltage drop in the morning, if it doesn't start on the first try.

    Thanks again for all the help.

    No problem I'm just as curious as you are at this point, it's an interesting issue for sure.
