Just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of how to hook up a ground wire kit...and if anyone has one - how good is it? Have you noticed any differences?

hrmmmm<p>http://www.protegenetwork.org/pro/1stgen/articles/howto/groundwire/<p>that might help a bit.. really all you gotta do is follow the facotry ones

Mazda only installed 2 or 3 grounds under the hood. You are better off going to a stereo shop and picking up some 4 guage wire and some gold ring connectors. Good points to ground are from the alternator bracket to - terminal, MAF to - terminal, block to - terminal, and tranny to - terminal. Should help a little with the electrical surge and poor idle. Don't waste your money on one of these "kits", do it yourself and it will be much better.

hehe you didnt follow the link.. that is the cheapest thing to do so far.. 16ft of 4 gauge from a shop cost me 60$.

hmm, your right, my bad.

hy guys!!
I'd like to know if changing the ground wires
works for what
Thanks

i put 4 new grounds: one on my tranny, one on my maf, one on my intake manifold, and one on the block. it did help the idle stay a little bit more steady. but it really didn't do that much that i can tell...i guess it couldn't really hurt though , god knows the factory grounds are terrible... 92' 1.6L sohc auto

@hondah8er13
Did you replace the old stock ground wires,
or you put new with different attach point?

i bought the autoexe ground wires for the fc from corksport (mostly for show and name brand) and i replaced two ground wires and just added other grounding points. the one i remember replacing was from the PS fender to the engine block. i replaced another but i forgot which it was.

@marshmallow15
Do you fell that the car goes better?

haven't had a chance to try it cause my car still isn't starting up. looks better than the homemade ones i made though.

i added 4 NEW ones and kept the originals... the wire i got was blue and it looks real clean the way i did it... but then again i'm an electrician so it was pretty easy for me lol

i forgot to mention that the whole thing cost me 7 bucks.... not sure how much the kit is but i bet that this would be alot cheaper..

Someone can explain me how to do these
ground wires and where to attach them,
with a picture or a skematic diagram......
