Intake Manifold Ground and Bolt Missing

Ruffellbaker · March 4th, 2011, 05:30 PM

I was running a fuel injector function test at my college the other day and realized wire that was not connected to anything. I looked it up and it is my intake manifold ground, then I noticed that the bolt that I guess it is usually grounded to is missing. Its the closest bolt to the flywheel on the drivers side. Im guessing that this is not a big deal since the car runs great, but does anyone know of any problems with not having the ground connected? Im thinking about just ordering a bolt and fixing it soon but not in a hurry if its no big deal

Fix it, missing and bad grounds can cause some real electrical ghosts! Just go to a hardware store and get one, unless your that picky.
