    Has anyone done extra grounding cables for their engine? I rememeber buying a grounding kit for my wrx that was supposed to help the car run better. I just saw it done again on speed channel and I wondered if it has been done with any success on the mondial, 328, or 308? A search didnt really come up with much. My car runs fine but if I can help it out I will.
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    I think this was mentioned in Mondial Starter problems recently where you put an extra strap on your engine to help get better ground and to start it, i'm sure it was there I read it

    Car frames make poor grounds inspite of what you may think. It's important that the block and the - battery side both have good attachments to the frame. Even a cable that looks good may not be; I had that problem myself. If you have a 20+ year old car and you're having any electrical problems like poor starting, overheating of wires, poor battery charging etc. it won't hurt to replace your grounds and may even help the problem. This area is frequently overlooked.
