Hi fellows,
I just wanted to share an experience about loose ground cables I made yesterday.
I had a new alarm system installed and at the same time asked the electrician to re-attach a loose gnd cable in the engine bay. It has been loose since I own the car.
So that's what he did and I couldn't believe it: the car drives better now!
Before if I'd press the pedal, there would be a split second of nodding forward as if the engine would first breath in, about to cough shortly and then run.
Now that symptome is gone! Immediately when I depress the thrust, it comes, no more nodding, not even a bit.
So that is another proof that you / we really should care about or ground connections - they do surprising things!
