ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

        Tough area to get a picture of. The ground is for the ignition wiring at the coil/distributor, it just happens to be attached to the thermostat housing. As ED1 said, there is a single bolt below the hose connection on the thermostat housing which is at the right (passenger) rear corner of the head.

                    problem is i dont see a ground wire coming from anywhere to connect to the tstat housing. if it comes of the engine harness then im stumped cus i dont see it lol all i know is that theres suppose to be a wire from the ecu to the tstat housing but theres no wire. (boy my girlfriend is gonna kill me for typing with dirty hands lol)
                    is there anyway somebody can draw something out or something? ill go and look while i wait for the answer maybe take a few pics of what im talking about.

                          Code 6 is Engine coolant tempature sensor. Keep searching because it definately there because if it wasnt, your car wouldnt even fire up.
