The one I'm talking about bolts from the motor to the crossmember, by the motor mount.

That one, and the ones on the back of the head are really the only important ones. The others, as long as they bolt to a chassis ground somewhere will be fine.

 

i have the crank holding tool that i can ship to you if you want to use it lol

 

Ok, I'll check those out, thanks!

 

Thanks man, if I can't fit an impact in there, I'll hit you up !!

 

Hey Adam, the one ground that comes out of the harness is a pain in the ass to get to. I found it to be alot easier to get to the back of the head with the valve cover off and a 1/4" drive ratchet and shallow 10mm socket.

The other two grounds as Carey said go to a spot underneath the intake manifold and close to the bell housing on the transmission. You will see an area with two 6mm holes and a flat surface where the grounds mount to the block. The one ground then mounts parallel to the ground by the ABS unit. The other I believe mounts perpendicular to the ground on the frame rail, I'm not at home for the week to double check though.

 

Thanks, that helps. I think if I have time tonight I'll stop and take a look (car isn't at my house).

 

Yeah Adam,
I did the same thing and forgot the ground on the back of the head. I used a ratchet wrench to get the bolt on the back of the head which was much easier than trying to use a socket. You can also use a regular wrench it just takes forever. It definately helps to have the valve cover off!

The other grounds o'malley has right, the first bolts beisde the ABS and the bottom one bolts to the subframe.

 

i owe you guys a HUGE THANK YOU! i checked and sure enough i forgot to bolt that ground wire on, and it must have affected the ecu. so when i bolted that back on (which completely sucked and now im missing skin) it cranked right up. so thanks for helping me out!

 

O yeah, those couple of grounds are kind of a big deal.

 

No problem. I've been there myself. With my old car, I left 1 ground off the transmission, and I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't crank over. I was talking to a buddy, and he said did you get your grounds on ? Sure enough I didn't, connected it, and boom fired right up. It's the simple things sometimes, lol.
