Ok like most of fc's I have the 3800drop...So far I have grounded the altenator,Negative battry post,removed the engine ground and cleaned the contact surfaces...I want to ground the sensor that is bolted to the right strut tower..which wire do I ground? The wire colors that I have are as follows 1brown with white stripe,1black with white stripe,1brown with red stripe,2brown with black stripe....Also I want to ground the ecu...Is there any way to reground the secondary injectors?I tryed to get to the ground bolt but there is no room to fit your hand or a wrench..I don't want to remove the throttle body I don't have a gasket to replace the old one..

There is a writeup in the archives on grounding. It's pretty good.

aux port actuator

Ok I now know it's not my grounding that is causing the problem with the 3800 drop,It's the aux ports.The rear aux port is moving tho it is hard to move,The front aux port under the air pump is stuck!!How do I get them moving again?Do I have to tear half of the motor apart?Do I remove the throttle body?I removed the actuator on my 87 parts car to see what was involved,there is a gasket between the actuator and the engine,Is this gasket easy to get or can I use blue monkey snot/form a gasket in place of the gasket?
