Bryan...halt all ongoing testing/fault finding IMMEDIATELY!
I have found the problem......it s that firkin Confuser you have connected to the ignition timing.
Remedy....remove all that crap and throw it over your left shoulder to the Shizenhausen ...THERE....YOUR WELCOME....NO CHARGE.
Alternatively...juice up that MIG welder in the background....and strike an ARC between the "F" AND THE "K" ON THE KEYBOARD of the Confuser as shown below.
F...ARC...KI promise you...after taking one or the other remedy......it will NEVER cause you frustration or a problem again.

"You can over-GIZMO something to the point where it becums JIZZMO." speaking metaphorically that is.
Hope this helps.
