even stock one come with left on the picture~~

and if the right one is right how do you prove it?

and where to get the jdm throtlle cable bracket? what do they do?

The valve cover has no physical connection to metal. hence it wont be able to provide a ground

JDM throttle cable loops all the way around the front of the engine bay to get to
the right side of the car for right hand drive

 

but they both are on valve cover so you mean they are both wrong?

 

the ground strap must be under the valve cover nut so that it can ground the
engine to the chassis. if its bolted to the cover then it wont be touching the
engine.

 

humm then why did honda/acura did it??

 

lol oh man

 

Actually, if I remember correctly, the bolt that the valve cover acorn nut threads onto comes right out of the head. So wouldn't the metal to metal contact ground the head/block to the chassis?

The left picture is definitely incorrect becuase that is only grounding the valve cover to chassis ground. And the valve cover sits on rubber so no electrical contact with the head.

What are you talking about? My R came like the photo on the right from the factory...

Just leave it there then

 

I wasn't planning on moving it..
I said that because somebody said that Hoda was sending from the factory like the photo on the left....

 

Really ?? WTF mine came like this from stock



from the valve cover yes it's same as right picture but where it connects to is the picture on the left




or is mine on just right place?

OMG relax, yours is ok.

 

lol

i thought mine was like one on the left

 

I wasnt directing my comment towards you, Flux.

 

When i read this post it makes me think of you as a 17yr old vally girl

 

My bad.

I'm jus a caveman. I fell in some ice and was later thawed out by your scientists. Your message boards frighten and confuse me...

 

Further proof that this whole "jdm fascination" has become absurd.

:sigh:

 

OH...YOU'VE FOUND ME OUT!!! Like, oh my God, what-ever!

 

LMAO Nice John
Phil Hartman RIP and Caveman Lawyer Roxorz

And yes the pic above is correct the correct spot is pictured on the right

 

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!...... this was a good one

LSR

 

flux i seriously doubt it came like you said its just really easy to think it goes the other way and once its off you can get confused. Trust me I work at the dealership and have seen hundreds off tegs. And its in the helm manual just look at the pictures in the ETM in the back and you can see that it goes the the valve cover retaining nut so it can ground the front bulkhead to the engine bay. Trust me we've had our share of weird electrical gremlins that drove us nuts until we noticed the obvious bad ground.

 

I promise my ground wire is in the position shown on the right below in the photo (I just went out and looked again). It has never been removed or confused. It was that way from the factory.

I think we are getting confused with all the left hole/ right pic, left pic/right hole deal...

strait from the factory never been removed.

 

Just take it off and run no ground cable.

 

already search so, Rises from the grave lol 2002 im not going to open a new topic ... a simple question does this cable has a part number?
