Well the results of that test seem pretty conclusive:-

- with CTS grounded to chassis (same point as Fan ground!!!), CTS value
flicked about and the Fan kept flicking ON and OFF;
- with CTS grounded to engine, CTS value was much more stable and Fan came
ON once only, and stayed on until the CTS value dropped.

So, I shall be grounding my CTS to pin C10, as it should be... (my excuse
for the bodge in the first place was that I originally just lashed up the
CTS to experiment with the ECM controlling my fan, and I didn't want to mess
about with my nice TPS ground (already connected to pin C10) for the sake of
an experiment!) :-)
