I found this ground cable system on eBay and purchased it for 9.99. The price seemed reasonable, but the shipping was a scam.

Here is the installation. Didn't make much of a difference though, my grounds must have been good.

i ran some 4ga wire i had left from my power amp just like ritch said. And now, my car idles smooth as a new car once it warms up, the passenger side window, which used to take at least 15 second to go up, is up in 5 seconds and the headlights also go up quicker. However, the dash lights are not much brighter but i can live with that. Good call Ritch!

As a general rule when troubleshooting any electrical system, look for bad grounds. Good grounds/earths are a necessity especially on computer operated systems. I remember helping my grandson with an old VW bus that had lighting problems and corroded ground points were the only problems we found. Cleaning up the existing terminals will help too.

Well, I got a big ol' piece of 2 gauge battery cable and added an extra ground to my 2.8 and I do have to say that it made a difference. The thing definately idles better. The blinkers actually blink at a decent rate now instead of once every 5 seconds or so like they used to Pretty good effect for a 5 dollar mod I think You will get a plus from me as soon as I can give you one Rich

Were you serious about the $19.99 kit? I would like to add a ground strap without searching all over for 2 gauge wire or whatever it should be.
