Random sputter, miss, backfire

Think you may need to do some data logging, while the problem is presenting itself, to find out what's going on. One would think, if it was a "wet" problem, spraying it with the hose while running would most certainly make it act up. The fact that it didn't is just bizarre.
She's still a moody teenaged B*tch with a mildly noisy alternator, and a battery with a 10/10 sticker that don't have enough cold crank amps left and don't like the Ny, state Winters.
Thing is I had buttered the bottom seat of the cap with some Hi temp RTV and let it cure for a couple of days before putting it on.

At the same time it also reminds me of a taillight issue we were having where high humidity or outright wet weather caused the rear left taillight and blinked not to work......after Multimeter checking it repeatedly and giving up on that I started checking pins in the connector ends.
on one end, the COM ground pin pulled out in a puff of green/grey dust.
I bypassed the plug with some soldering and heatshrink tubing, after cutting back to solid wire on the socket end, and making a bald spot for a intersecting splice "T" in the main-sub harness. Problem Solved, no more intermittent light functionality.
