    I'm laughing so much here. I forgot to mention there is another plug near the thermostat that needs to go someplace. Lucky I figured out where the engine goes! Thanks for you help.

    Jim, I believe it bolts over, not under "that thing", right beside the "other gizmo". :Thumbsup:

    Tip: Tell the monkey to take pictures of everything BEFORE taking things apart.

    Just to clarify, wires near the Gizmo are always installed with duct tape.

    It can get cool here sometimes so the monkeys wear sweaters! Ah a ground wire. I know a nut who can help.

    Nice pics Steve, but they lack monkeys.

    Being in Costa Rica we do have a few monkeys running around! So this little monkey was able to sit by the wire in question. It's the wire resting on the pipe that bolts some place. This wire comes from the wiring loom going into the front of the ECU box.

    DME ground wire held on by a 10mm nut..should be a little stud sticking out on the body?

    I keep getting distracted by the monkey so this is just a guess....

    It grounds to the frame on the other side of the intake box from the Monkey.

    Grease Monkey is so happy with steve's photo! Monkey took photos of everything except this wire. Monkey was more interested in another banana! Bad monkey
