Cars are like women. The hotter they are, the more effort they require.

For sure! Just glad she’s fixed. What a headache it was driving from point A to B and back only…

I drove for a hour yesterday, stopped and turned the car off. Waited 30 seconds and nervously turned the key. She fired right up like a Honda Civic!!! I was shocked! Thanks for all the help people!!!

Awesome brother!! Glad you got it fixed. I have to do another ground in mine too. Did the trunk extra one, but that one only helped for a short while, so gonna try the bellhousing one as well and see what gives.

Thanks man! I truly believe the difference is the Bell housing ground like MorePowerjoe mentioned. In my case I did it from starter to body. I personally had done the trunk ground and the cylinder head ground with no luck. As soon as I did a good ground from starter to the body and cleaned my pigtail like a madman I got these results. I’d recommend trying that brother. I think that along with the cylinder head ground adds up to solve the issue.

Now here is the expensive lesson learned. 2 $10 battery cables and a $1 wire brush could have saved me $4,000 in engine work. Oh well at least I have nice ported and polished cylinder heads and she’ll be ready for a camshaft when I replace her as a daily
