Thumbs up Pics From ECU Grounding

Well I thought that I might put some pics up for grounding the ECU. They are not the best pics but can give the basic idea for those thinking of doing it. Here ya go

The Original Crimp


My 12 Gauge Wire Soldered Up


Where I Put the New Ground Wire


The Complete Setup


So there it is sorry about the image quality.

Nice, did it fix your hesitation?

It's really pissing me off, I'm going to try it in a few days

That reminds me. I have both ecu's. I don't think I changed my ecu when I changed the engine. Not sure what ecu is there now or if they are different. The original was an 87 and I put an 88 engine in. What's the difference between the N327 and N326?

Yes it did take care of my hesitation and my A/F guage no longer bounced. That is supposed to be a grounding issue as well. As far as the 326 vs. the 327 I don't think that there is a difference that you need to worry about. The important stuff should be the same unless you have the high ohm injectors from '88. There might be a difference there, someone correct me if I am wrong on that.

Sweet, describe a little of how did the car feel after. Did you really feel a jump in power than our regular loss?

Thanks

I never changed injectors when I changed engines. I changed it from one car to the other in a day, nothing to elaborate

Well on the first drive you can just feel how smooth the rpm band should be. I had a pretty bad hesitation, I don't know how bad yours is but you should be able to tell a difference. If I can remember correctly the response was a little more crisp as well.

At that time I just did the ground on the injector gang plug. I will do the others some day, I will post pics when I do so. I will most likely do it soon to see if it helps my TPS problem.

That sucks
