location ground on cover bolt under or over grommet?

Post by perspective »

I know is already over in a sticky, but I can't tell from the pic. the ground cables go underneath or over the grommet?
If it goes under, how did you set it properly ? It's making the contact with the bolt or with the cam cover? I tried putting it under the grommet but the grommet wouldn't seal properly.

Ok it worked!
Now, I installed hondata gasket, and hybrid throttle body gasket and a day later check engine light came on. I checked it and it said battery voltage low when cranking. The battery is ok , I have to check the grounds. I read the sticky on top that talks about it, still have some questions

Use a multimeter to check the voltage at the ECU when youare cranking. Then begin tracing back form the ECU to the battery to find where the voltage drop is occuring and fix it.

thanks,
so basically pin the connection in ecu with the multimeter, then crank engine and see voltage.
Where should I check the ecu , I don't want to burn or mess up the ecu never the less kpro.
What is the right amount when cranking>? 10 or more

There is no correct amount. If you are getting the error message then there is not enough voltage at the ECU to prperly power the K-Pro which is causing the error code to come on.

I understand that, my question is where exactly do you pin the ecu , I saw it somewhere in the forum.

A2 - power
A4 - ground
