Basically, I snipped my purple wire about 4 inches from the firewall under the hood and spliced in a new wire. I even made it pluggable because at the time I wasn't 100% sure if it was going to hold up. Now I have a place where I can unplug it and jumper it to the battery if I ever need to.
I even made a jumper with a push button so that I can bump the engine while adjusting valves and that kind of stuff.

Greg - I actually have a new OEM harness, so the wires are in pretty good shape.

Do you recall where the purple wire is routed to? I need to do some investigating.
