Does anyone know what the grounding points are for a 98 I4 Accord Sedan? I have heard that after grounding the engine with about 4 gauge cable you get smoother shifting and idling as well. I know you can buy the kit but I think you could use better quality parts for a better price if you DIY.

i heard it adds 10hp to the wheels tooo :thumbup:

 

A friend of mine did it to his 2001 IS300 and said he feels a definate improvement in shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. It just dosn't jerk as much. Although I'm sure he didn't feel much jerking in that car.

 

Someone try it I want to know if it works.

 

I'd be willing to try it if someone posted even the theory behind this. I can see it *possibly* making a fuller spark, but I don't see how this would effect the shifting at all. Who the hell thought this one up?

 

Who knows but my car is not idling smoothly as my mom's camry, I am thinking of geting my valves adjusted would that help? I am going to 30k soon.

 

There are some tech websites that have info about the theory but I can't think of any off-hand. You can try a google search for info. I just don't know the exact points to ground in my Accord.

 

From how it was explained to me this is it:
it makes the power cleaner. It delivers a fuller spark, allows the computer to send signals with more power and somehow gives it better response and shifting.

Thats what i remember.

 

camrys are just usually smoother and built better than accords
