OK thanks. I was afraid of something like that.That is not a ground, that is the engine temp sender for the gauge.
A New battery does not mean it’s a good battery. If your cable cleaning worked, that’s great. But next time, you could still be going down the wrong path for skipping an important test.hi,
thanks for the quick reply
brand new battery.
i have a voltmeter. ohm, continuity, ec. its cheap, but seems to work fine. i used it to check all fuses and grounds.
i will have to look into how to do a voltage drop test i suppose unless it is easily explained.
one other thing, there is some type of fuse (i think its a fuse) located near the battery. it isnt wired to the batter directly, and it is in some 3-inch or so tube-like housing. one side has a pink/white wire, the other side has a black wire. i am going to try to figure out what that is, because there was a bit of smoke near my battery (the old battery, not the new one) and im wondering if that is a fuse that maybe burnt up.
thanks
if the heater tube is metal, then this stud isnt for that i dont think. i saw where the metal tube brackets sit, bigger bolt, different location.That stud is likely for the heater hose tube, there are two of them on the passenger side intake bolts (right side of car).
The ground strap from the back of the head is on the drivers (left side of car) side.
crawled under the car, didn't see anything. sigh.You should see it bolted to the firewall just below the clutch cable
right, thanks. didnt see anything from the top.You can't see that ground strap from under the car, I described where it is supposed to be.
Didn't see anything.Nothing in the area between the accelerator cable and the clutch cable?
You need a ground there but that ground missing would not cause the problem you discribed, check the ignition switch under the dash.
Those were good. At least the two coming from the fuse box connection were.I dont know how many there areCheck fusible links.
I have trouble keeping up,Didn't see anything.
Also, the ignition switch was something I was looking into, but, are you aware that me repairing the battery cable seems to have fixed the problem? I am asking in case you are aware and feel there's more I should check.
Thanks again
No worries. I wasnt complaining.I have trouble keeping up,
i looked around again, didnt see anything, didnt even see a spot where something was missing (like i screw hole that could be where the ground went)Nothing in the area between the accelerator cable and the clutch cable?
You need a ground there but that ground missing would not cause the problem you discribed, check the ignition switch under the dash.
sure, will get it tomorrow when its light outPost a pic of that area?
1st pic is to the left of the accelerator cable looking down, 2nd is straight on just below the accelerator and clutch cable, 3rd is looking down at the accelerator and clutch cables.Post a pic of that area?
