Weill I figure out the popping problem. Turns out I installed the new sensor incorrectly. There is a locating dowel inside the distributor that the PIP sensor keys onto, well I missed the pin. So when the computer was trying to control the timing it was getting cross talk on the reluctor wheel and messing up the firing order.

That's very interesting, thank you for sharing that with the rest of us. Hopefully that will be the end of your problems.

Seems to be fine. Unfortunately the main problem doesn't crop up unless I drive the car and wait for it to break down.

Hope it is, I'd like to get back to driving the car regularly again.
