Default Ground wire sparking!

What would cause my ground cable going from the valve cover to the body to spark? Could this be solved by just adding another ground? If so where should I put the new cable? Thanks.

Hmm, that's weird. Does the car actually start successfully?

Check the other grounds on the motor. There should be 3 others, if I'm not mistaken. Haven't touched an Integra in a while.

car hasn't been starting, tested my battery and did a load test and it was fine, tested the alternator and it was fine, had a starter/alternator shop inspect my starter and it was fine, tried my friends battery and it started right up. Went out today and bought a battery and it starts fine but the ground wire mentioned sparks. Would adding another ground wire make it stop?
