wiring help
There are two wires that go along the front of the motor, then wind down toward the spark plug area.
I tried to highlight the two wires in red down below...
One wire has a HUGE connector, then the other one is a singe black connector, what appears to be a ground.
Where does that single groud connect??
Not for the knock sensor, not the a/c or power steering, not for the oil pressure...

The small wire isn't going to the oil pressure sensor... It's got a plug-type connector.
I don't have another pic to really show what i'm talking about offhand...
where's JONSKI - he always has all the close-up under-hood pics...

Not the crank angle sensor wires - those drop down behind the vacuum chamber.
The wires I'm referring to go underneath the oil filler neck and then the single ground connectior comes out and should terminate [or connect] down around the spark plugs somewhere...
I'll try to get a better pic... and i'm, trying to find it in the wiring manual as well......

nope - not the knock sensor.
I believe it's the other ground for the coolant level sensor - there's the obvious one on the front of the t-stat housing, but from what I understand, there is another ground that terminates near the coil pack.....
