    Earth wire?

    Hi

    I can't remember where this earth wire connects too. Can anyone help?

    Thanks

    I suspect that the wire in question is the alternator ground.

      That looks like it should be the chassis to engine ground strap. But I don't think it attaches to the engine there. Look on the engine bay wall, near the bottom and below where the AFM is, for a stud protruding. Attach it there and then look for a place to secure to the engine in it's narrow range.

          No, it doesn't, but looks like you have S14-engine and then the wire goes at that bolt.


          Green arrow shows the bolt.
