    Heheh, at least its not crack!  =)  Easiest way to test it is to take
plug off thermo time switch, provided you did check on wire from cold
start to thermo, and insert your brown wire in there and put it to either
the neg term of battery or to chassis, body, what have you, anthing that
is connected to ground, and then try the car.  No need to run all sorts of
wires, unless you want to make it more complicated  =)  The grounding of
the cold start valve housing is of no consequence.  It is too hard to get
power to the spade terminal and tap ground onto the spade terminal, so why
not just leave the plug on the cold start and then ground the thermo plug,
much easier.  Waoh, this thing is getting out of control, heheheh...  =)
