Well running the new ground wires directly from ALDL pins 4 and 5 to the ground post on the inner fender changed nothing. I did find that the ground stud was loose where it bolts to the fender but even tightening that did not help.
I did some more research on the RDR cable I am using. Looks like I got one with a fake FT232RL chip. The letters on the chip appear to be printed on instead of laser etched. http://hackaday.com/2014/02/19/ft232rl-real-or-fake/
I went ahead and ordered a Moates cable. Hopefully that solves my problem.
I almost feels like it was easier removing and rebuilding the engine by myself than it has been to log and tune this damn car!
