S13 KA Grounding!

[DubsSuck]

so my car hesitats like crazy on cold start ups, and i read that grounding that car a little bit better could help solve that problem. I was just wondering whats the best way to ground it without relocating the battery to the back? Pictures would help the best. thanks!

There's a guide for that. :-)

Check it with a multimeter before you do anything. Mine is perfect.

So.. It really doesn't matter where you mount the wires? And you don't have to overlap them?

check the resistance of your engine bay including the manifold and engine block. put your grounds where the resistance is high.

I have to do this on my bike cuz my bike has some hesitation going on.

[DubsSuck]

OK so i check the checked the resistance through out the engine bay while the car was off and it read a steady 16ohms all through out.. now its been a while since my electronics class so im a little rusty, but he multi meter was switched to the 50 so that prbably means it was at 160ohms. and now that i think of it i probably should have had the car running.

[zachattack_5491]

Well that's pretty high. You want 0ohms.

[shiro_neko]

2ohms or lower. mine is at 4ohms at other parts but it runs fine.

car doesnt have to be running. check again. try checking the (-) terminal and the opposite end of the wire connected directly to it.

doesn't high resistance indicate a ground problem?

[DubsSuck]

yep thats why i purchased a grounding kit not sure when its going to get here because it coming from the UK and i had to buy it in GBP not USD

[zachattack_5491]

You should have at least tested it with some temporary wires before buying that. Just throwing parts at a hesitation problem is very expensive. There's a grip of problems that can cause hesitation.
