Wiring

Yesterday I was finally getting around to disconnecting wires from the harness for the rats nest. Everything went reasonable well.

I have one question, when I was running with the rats nest disconnected but still had all the wiring there I had to run a ground that came from both the white and the blue selenoid in order for the car to turn over. While disconnecting everything, the grounds never went directly to the wiring harness. I have one Green/White wire still connected to the white selenoid, which then had the ground wire, which connected to the blue selenoid as a ground as well.

I haven't tried starting her up again but I figure I must have to ground somewhere. Do I just ground the Green/White wire coming out of the wiring harness or don't I even need a ground anymore.

Let me know if I need to be more clear.

Thanks

Bump, anyone?

Do I need to ground the emissions wiring (rats nest) harness anywhere? I guess tonight I am just going to try to see if anything works.

I think you need to be more clear. If you are removing emissions then you dont need any of that junk.

Otherwise make sure everything is hooked up as per the FSM wiring diagrams.
