Ok I got the negative battery cables and I haven't a clue as how
to perform this operation. I need your (or anyone else willing)
expertise. please help.

thanx,
R.

 

Um.... I cracked the "black emission component" that connects
to the egr how will this affect my car??

 

do you mean the EGR controller? if it is just a carck it may work if it isn't leaking any of the vacuum signal. wrap tape around it to see if it will seal.
the negative battery cable just goes from the terminal to ground. it you floow the stocker you will find a really nice spot to put the end of it.

Well I replaced the cable and it actually was the positive not the negative. The car started fine given it's timing, and it dies all of a sudden. Then it refuses to turn at all. I don't know what's up? I will try the tape though

 

Well I replaced the cable and had my battery checked and it's good. Still no cranking. All I get is this high-pitched wine. Is that
my alternator or what?

 

hmm... Maybe there isnt enough current to crankt eh engine over but enough to get the starter to engage the flexplate, the starter would make a hum but do nothing. More then likely it sounds like a fuel pump whining away because of a bad fp relay. Where is it coming from in the car?

 

It's all good now. At the positive terminal
where all the wires connect there was a poor connection.
I retwisted them to establish a good transfer. So it starts and
runs fine.
