I can see a long black wire coming from the back of the car that disappears behind the starter but then reappears beside the starter in what seems like a very small passage between the starter and the engine block. This would seem a logical site since routing it on the other side of the starter would put it closer to the exhaust. It will be interesting to see where the dealer places the new cable (presumably if in the same place then it can be assumed that it was the cable at fault and not an improper location). It would be nice to get a pic of the damaged cable to see if the damage was compatible with an inherent cable/insulation defect or an external pinch or crush that corresponds to the tight spot. A car that unexpectedly stops suddenly is very dangerous...wonder if the V6 cable would be routed similarly...
