either will work on the key. Would like to see a good ground from a head or rear of engine to the fire wall. Should have had one in original state.



OK fellas....I don't understand why this is happening at all. Tutor me on this grounding sitation.

I took my test light and read every hot lead in the car. All good to go.

I kept watching the dome light to see if it would come on. It did not.

I then added the additional ground strap from the head to the firewall.

when I did this all systems lit up like a Christmas tree. Dome light came on. Key in buzzer started screaming and the motor fired right up.

I disconnected the strap to see what it would do...it ran for a about 40 seconds and just conked out. Dead. Hooked the strap back up and everything works fine

What in the world is going on here?

Why would it run for 70 miles or so since the initial start up....then just quit?

I can't believe this may be all this whole she-bang is all about. A ground wire?
