Give me a little credit Rob, I need to know what grounds there I am pretty sure now that my car won't run right cuz of my grounds, so I got lots of grounding supplies.

If you have a multimeter, you can test each engine and EFI component for resistance to grounding. They should all be about .5-.2 ohm when you put one lead of the meter on the item and the other on the firewall ground. If something is not in that range, a ground wire to the firewall or battery negative terminal will correct it.

What part of the component would I test? I am guessing that I would have to look at the FSM and find out which wire on the component would be the ground and check it that way.

ELECTRICAL WORK BLOWS. especially after the heater at work almost electicuted me.

I looked at the FSM, and some other pics of my car when I installed them, but I am going to take off the UIM just to make sure.

I have a few other questions. Why does the oil pan on this motor only have one hole for a sensor on it, and my old motor had two? Also what grounds to the little prong on the firewall by the vin?
Models with the "Sub-Zero Assist" have an oil thermo sensor in the pan. The other is the oil level sensor. Should work OK without the oil thermo sensor. Oil level sensor is a must.



The ground clip by the VIN should ground directly to the bellhousing.

You can test by touching the metallic body of the part with one multimeter lead and the firewall ground with the other.

I THINK I FOUND THE PROBLEM!!!! One of the wires wasn't all the way in the clip on the front primary injector.

So hopefully I can be again.

Cool, when you get it fixed you should leave a strip where the "rotary specialist" works.
