Just drive it and see if it throws the code? Then I will know it is not a grounding issue?

I have everything crossed I can get crossed. Sure is hard to drive that way, though.

It did run fine, and the codes did clear. I was saying that if I leave the cable on and it throws a code again I will know it is not a ground issue with the ECM.

I went on about a 340 mile trip this weekend, against better judgment, and had no issues. I am going to take the jumper cable off and see what happens. If it drives OK for a while I will try putting the Edge back on. What are your bets on? Edge Comp, VP, APPS, ground?
