I'd suggest just adding extra ground leads to the existing intake manifold ground point, starter, and chassis.

Those are going to be what give you the best results without going overboard. Tieing the intake manifold ground point to the negative battery terminal will most likely provide the best results for the sensors.

Actually, I remember looking through this before... There are also two sensors that don't already have their own ground wires: the oxygen sensor and the knock sensor. So maybe the thing to do is add three wires to the existing ECU ground on the intake manifold ground point -- one to the knock sensor, one to the oxygen sensor, and one to the battery.

just to give you an idea.

all the wires are seperate pieces but connected as one.

strut tower to ignitor? to intake to block to ac bracket to alt bracket to coil pack to throttle body to strut to rear frame and to battery or along those lines.

it would be really interesting to see what may happen with the 02, knock ect grounded too.

i think vrg went over that somewhere in the other thread
