A very inexpensive mod that canpotentially add greater throttle response and cure hesitation, isadding additional grounding points to the cars electrical system. Bytying various locations directly to the ground terminal of the batteryit effectively increases the efficiency of the electrical system. Tools: 10mm socket Wire strippers Connector crimper Parts needed: 10 to 15 feet of 8 gauge multi-strand wire, commonly available at car audio supply stores. Miscellaneous assortment of 8 gauge ring terminals, available at Radio Shack Estimated Time Required: Approximately 1/2 hour of labor. Procedure: 1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal. 2. Using the pictures shown (1.) (2.) as a generalguide and cut desired lengths of 8 gauge wire. Strip the ends of thewire and crimp the appropriate ring terminals to each end. 3. The locations highlighted in (1.) are the batteryground terminal, the ground the plenum, and the plenum stud on thefront driver side of the plenum. The other highlighted locations in (2.) are the HICAS actuator assembly, and a body panel bolt. 4. Install the wire assemblies and reattach the negative batteryterminal, trapping the wire assemblies under either the head of thebolt or the nut. (3.). Originally published 01-15-2003
