i added another Ground Strap
about a 6inch pc. of 4Ga. Wire that goes from the 15mm bolt that holds the EGR Solinoid Bracket on, to the bolt by the battery tray where the small ground wire is that comes off of the negative Bat. terminal with the 10mm bolt,
and my car runs ALOT smoother, it idles better, and seems to all arround have a little more Get up and go to it

i suspect that the stock one was just getting a little crusty, so i added another one and im amazed at the differance a 6" Pc. of wire has done!!!
somthing to think about
just thought id share

EDIT to add pic

Cool,
Thanks for the info.

It is utterly amazing how much difference a good ground can make.

On another note - what's up with the sign? Is it for real? Does it show only my info to me or what? Kinds cool though.

I'll try that! My idle needs help, it bounces between like 800 and 1000. I'm not sure about the exact rpm but its not smooth.

Thanks Buddy, i already gave you one too

Kling on: yes, only you see your info in the sig, and only I can see Mine

Outlaw: i my batterys Just died in my cam wile taking pics of my new headlights, but i think it would be hard anyways because its kinda tucked in there,and wouldnt show up well

just look at yours, there is a ground wire going from the negative battery Terminal down to the chassie, its held in by a 10mm bolt, one end of the new ground goes there, and the other end goes to the 15mm bolt that holds in the bracket to the EGR, its either ON or right above the Waterpump

easy

Hey $RICH$... a plus for you... that's what this forum is all about, sharing info!
Something as simple as a ground strap can cause so many problems. I can't tell you how many times it has gotten me. Kinda like power problems... how many times have we started to look for a broken, shorted or loose wire, only to find that the fuse is blown?
Thanks again,
Kevin
