anspaugh777 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Does anyone know where the engine ground terminals are located? I need to check if those are tightened. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Why not just run a new one? nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru360 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 You need to tell us what you're working on. But generally speaking most newer subies have 1 or 2 on top of the intake and the ground cable for the battery goes to by the starter.

The code was 45. So I looked up in my subscription to AllDATA and it says to check the engine ground terminals to see if they are tight. If not, then it says to tighten them. I just don't know what they mean by engine ground terminals and can't find a diagram as to where they would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 There may also be a tranny ground strap. When in doubt add a ground. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soobyfan Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 It is very important to insure that the connections are clean and free of corrosion, otherwise it won't matter how tight they are. Here is a link to info on anti corrosion pastes that work very well. (probably more info that you need, but good reading). I have purchased Noalox at home depot, it is readily available. http://sw-em.com/anti_corrosive_paste.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
