screw on coax fittings be a possible cause?

Yes, if an error was made. Commonly, a strand of the shield gets shorted to the center. Perform a very careful inspection looking for that along with improper stinger length.

A splitter is a splitter whether it be cable or antenna signal?

If it's actually a splitter and not a diplexer (reverse channel) or some type of filter.
Best thing to do if nothing shows up from an inspection, is to simply use a known good length of cable and jump around each suspect leg of the cabling until you find the one causing the signal loss.
