does any one know how many groound wires there are on a crx wiring harness. the car is not starting and is getting no spark ....i want to check all the grounds. also does anyone have any diagrams...

 

the two most important grounds on the motor are from the valve cover to the frame, the trans to the frame, and the starter connections. it might also be helpful to run a ground wire from the negative terminal on the battery to the frame of the car

 

hm, about the valve cover to frame? wouldn't it be better from block to frame ?

because there is a valve cover gasket ? hondas come stock with valve to frame though... ?

 

also check the ground wire from the thermostat..

 

So if there isn't a ground wire the car won't run? Just wondering, because my swap is done, but will only crank, and not run.

After reading this, and thinking, I don't remember hooking up a ground on my starter. Where would it run from, I know the little tab on the starter, but where does it go to?

Thanks in adnvance

 

same damn prob here. car did start and now it does not. what the hell. i checked and there is no spark and no fuel getting pumped...what could be the prob...ecu maybe...what is a good way to check..

 

I'm getting fuel up the the rail, but it just wont turn all the way over. I'm going to look at it this weekend, and see whats up. Maybe I'll pull everything back out and start from scratch

 

so can anyone answer 1st-hybrid question? where dose the ground from the stater hook up at and run to? Also to clear things up a little where actually dose the one ground wire comgin from the wire harness run to. thanks

 

Well I got mine running, I just made my own ground wire. I ran it from the starter, to the point where the ground is right near the clutch lever. After I did it the car turned right over . Good luck with yours, and hope that helps you.

the ground wire for the starter comes out of the wiring harness, there should be a male connector on the starter and a female connector coming off of the wiring harness.
