car runs w/o engine ground
I bought this car about 2 years ago and i noticed that the engine ground was only attached to the firewall and just dangling at the other end. the car still ran fine but that seemed odd not attached, nowhere close that i could attach it to the block so i attached it where the runners enter the plenum. Well i hear thats not a good place to ground it to cause the aluminum s bad conductor or something. I read a post saying that a bad engine ground can cause wierd idling and thats what my car is doing. Where should i connect the ground. Is there a ground somewhere else? Cause it ran before i attached the ground.
thanks
