I believe it bolts to the starter.

If it's ground, it bolts to the engine block.

That appears to be the ground that bolts to the engine block. Keep in mind, there is a similar power wire that goes to the alternator, and one to the starter.

If you put were it was on the other end it would be easier to tell you exactly.

 

[drewsh666]

it comes of some wires leading from the battery ground

 

[drewsh666]

well i was looking at the wiring diagram on TSRM and there was a wire going to the starter from the battery but there also was a wire that i thought connected to the starter that came off the wiring harness. I know that there was a plug that goes to the starter that i have pluged in. so im confused to the fact that there would be two wires going to the starter

There are two wires that go to the starter; the first is the starter signal wire that connects to the spade terminal and the other wire should be the negative from the battery I believe. Check the starter for both wires.

The large starter wire comes from positive side. Starter gets ground from being bolted to engine.

thank you for the info but now i need to figure out where these wires go. they come out of the wiring harness from the same area that the female starter wire comes from. they are 2 brown wires and 2 white with a black stripe

Those attach to the intake manifold. They are ECU ground.

 

[drewsh666]

thanks a lot for the info

Where is the grounding location for the brown and white wires in post 10 for the ECU ground?

Edit: Nevermind. I no longer have a stock manifold so it doesn't matter. Guess I will ground it at one of the transmission bolts.

srry not to hyjack ur post but i need quick advice on same sub. ok so a cable from the battery pos side goes to the bolt on the starter and the brown and white wires bolt to the intake manifold and that plug plugs to the starter? hmm can this be why my car just goes click and wont start lol ?

it could be if the starter signal wire wasnt plugged in.... but why wouldnt it be? did you unplug it?

 

[cliffordrican]

yea i wired a long posi cable to the starter from the battery and it started right up thanks for the info i was trying to put the brown and white wires on starter before lol car runs fine now

 

[bombinuass]

lol. glad i could help i think that was MY FIRST post i actually helped someone with lol yay.

what gauge wire did you use? its thick right? be careful dont go too skinny.

so do they go to the bolt near the middle of the intake? i have the same issue i figured out the other 2 one to the engine block the longer one to the starter so the smaller brown and white to the intake.
