Icon3 Ground Wire Location!?

I have a 94 Civic EX with a stock D16Z6. I recently did some work on it and i just noticed there was a loose ground wire from the chassis by my driver side head light. It's probly been disconnected since before i bought the car half a year ago. Could this affect how my car runs or have affected it in the long run? I put it on the bottom right corner of the valve cover by the timing belt cover but im not sure if it goes there or on an empty hole on top of the power steering pump bracket. Where should i put it or where is the factory location for it??

Do you have a ground wire coming from your cylinder head to your chassis? I have one on my sol. Maybe its the same one?

No, wrong side. A/C is grounded on passenger side.

It sounds like the OP attached it in the correct location - there is a ground that goes from VC to body in that area.

comon ground from the valve cover to the front radiator support. you have another ground from your transmission to your passenger side frame rail. if one of these have a bad connection it will cause your ecu to not work or your starter not to turn over. i have had this problem in the past and have upgraded mine to bigger ground wires as honda from the factory have poor grounds. it would be a safer precaution if the ground was hooked up though.
