where are the 2 grounding straps under left side of engine connect to.

Thank You. I really appreciate your taking the time to answer. However I need to know where the straps are attached to something. Actually I just have a piece of strap as it is torn off both the frame and whatever it is connected to. Their are 2 connected to ground at the same location. 1 goes toward firewall and up to something. Maybe control module as a guess and the other goes to someplace that I haven't figured out. That one, that is in one piece is acutally torn off at the frame where the two are attached as a piece of it is still attached. However it is the other end that I can not find. Any help? Thanks Too make things worse the car is in the street and I can't get under it so I am doing all the looking by way of my finger tips. I'm sure you are familiar with that line of sight.

It had at point just stopped. I thought I was out of gas as gas guage did not work. The deal is I had been driving it this way for awhile and wierd things were happening. Like radio going off and gas gauge and fan motor sometimes running way faster then it should. I figure the motor mount was broken and when I would step on it I could picture it tugging at a ground. So maybe I did it but couldn't think of why as I was just driving down the street. Actually the idiot I was talking about is me. Geez, sure hate to admit that. Does this ring any bells? Thank You for asking.

Oh well I never done nothing like that!!!.. I did make a mistake once, for about 15 seconds, I thought I was wrong!! .. The other answers seem to have something there!!

Thats a great reply pushrod. If you think of anything else let me know. Thanks, Kent

No kidding. You really think it is the ignition switch? You done that. Is that how yours was reacting? And what about the cable straps with one being off from both ends. Do they play into it or not? Turns over great. Have fuel. Presure tested ok. No spark. Let me know what you think. Oh yeh, and Thank You for responding and Thanks for letting me in the club. The idiot part was the initiation was it? No goats involved? Thanks, Kent
