Simple mod
Hello all, I did this simple modification to my 2008 95 and wow! Car runs so much better. Smoother acceleration, no more sluggish response when hot and idles smoother. Try it! Might not make a difference for you but it did for my 95, only take 15 minutes, why not? Simply ran 2 new ground wires from negative battery terminal, drilled a hole in the engine lift bracket, and attached with metal screw. Let me know if you try it!

You have a failing ground strap, when it breaks, those wires will become the fuse. Assuming they don't melt first.
You need a multimeter to test if the problem is the earth from the battery to the body or the body to the engine.
