Hey guys,

I know a lot of you probably ran a whole bunch of new grounding wires in your cars. My question is, besides the battery, ECU and the Intake manifold. What other locations were used for proper grounding. I am getting a little bit of a hesitation between 2-3k, cruising, and everything I read, seems to point to a grounding issue. This is on a KA24E, BTW.

Thanks again for the help.

If you look in the title, that has already been done. Thanks for the tip, buddy.

uhm. *sigh* i rectum i'll help you out. there is, one from the battery (-) cable to the battery tray, which connects to the intake manifold. on the driver's side of the head, closer to the firewall. that one connects from the head to the firewall. also, on both driver and passenger side, there are a bundle of grounds tied together and bolted to the frame towards the front of the car, when you look behind the headlights. those are the ones i can think of off the top of my head.

Thanks. I wasn't sure where the other were. I already knew about the battery grounds, and the intake manifold, but the ones on the head are definitely good to know.

Search harder.... I have written two threads explainng 5 points of grounding. There are countless other posts which also have covered grounding points where you aren't grounding.

I guess my "English" is different than most others. Thanks for the help. I used "location" as opposed to "points".
