yesterday I was changing my oil pressure sending unit and I noticed I had a lose ground wire sitting beside it. the wire is really big its about a 4 gauge wire. I didn’t see any bolt/bolts close to it that it could bolt up to. anyone know what wire I am talking about and where it is suppose to go? thanks

 

throw it anywhere on the engine. whole engine is a big ground. and cant u just bolt it to the water pump or the old air pump brackets?

 

oil pressure sending unit is in the back of the engine next to the oil filter. its a big hard wire i think im going to try and bull it down and bolt it to the tranny/engine.

 

oh nm, was thinking bout ur oil pump...

 

yeah, thanks for the feedback thow

 

thanks for all the help guys i guess i will just bolt it to the tranny

 

It's the main ground for the engine/car. Comes from the negative post of the battery. Connects to the long bolt on the starter.

 

so i should try and pull it down by the starter? its up right under the oil filter right next to the oil pressure sending unit

 

How the hell is there a wire hanging by the oil pump

Anyways is it a black with yellow stripe wire? There is only two 4ga wires on the car. + and - from the batt. Trace the wire, the + wire has the 8GA wire coming from the ALT post spliced into it. This is + and should not be dangling. It leads to the batt the alt and the fuse box. The other one - wire goes from the batt directly to the long bolt as hailers said through the starter and tranny.

 

Just attach it to one of the transmission bellhousing bolts. I'm assuming your talking about a very large wire with a large *ring terminal * on it that a bellhousing bolt will pass thru.

 

maybe if you read i think i have said about 4 times it is next to the OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT UNDER THE OIL FILTER

it goes into the wireing harness i dont know how long it as been unbolted but today it will be fixed. thanks hailers

IDIOTS!

 

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

1rx7driver masg to iceblue - well I took the time to fine out where the wire is SUSPOS to go and no dip ***** it doesn’t go to the long bolt that goes threw the starter. there is a spot right next to the oil pressure sending unit that is part of the main block and about 1/4 of that hole has no threads and the other 3/4 of that hole is threaded and who ever owned the car before me when they rebuilt the motor didn’t put the bolt back in and just kind of left the wire sitting there. I am not one of them stick it here stick it there kind of people I want my **** to be right not half assed like a Mexican job so needless to say I got a bolt and put it into the RIGHT spot.

after posting this post I have come to the conclusion that when someone asks a question all you people that are so fast to flam a new person or when someone to ask a dumb question and all you can say is SEARCH but that’s about all some of you know is to say SEARCH

thanks for the help hailers

GD IDIOTS!
