technical help needed again

[lescazscoob]

right after graeme (fastscooby) gave me a row for not having looked into the scoobs running problems i decided to start today first off i was going to fit my new oversized top mount intercooler on removal of my standard one i noticed a black wire which has been severed looks like its an earth strap and is fitted at one end to the bit of the bulkhead where the engine steady/mount is and i cant see what its meant to be connected to it has been broken for a while by the looks of it as the break is dirty no fresh metal in sight.

any help on this would be greatly appreciated i dont want to put it back together again to strip it all back off.

cheers

That wire is an earth.

It is fixed at the pitch brace on the bulkhead and should then attach to the bellhousing around the pitch brace.

There might be an eyelet where its been pulled out of. If not, just re crimp a new eyelt on and attach to anywhere in the same area.

didnt really give up but been at work then went and done the bodywork on my aunties car then started tearing in about the scoob just had enough for one day.

will commence tomorrow.

just out of curiosity what dammage is the broken earth doing me? could it have something to do with my running problems?

the wire is pretty knackered looking so im going to go buy a new 1 tomorrow also dont like the top mount cooler so going to buy fmic instead.
