i read up on and have asked some people about re-wiring my vtcs...now my question is..does it work? does it reduce teh sound of the clicking? if anyone has done this please reply. thanks

well of course it works. if it didnt stop the clicking, people wouldnt do it.

i did mine and it didnt really stop anything. i dont feel any power loss..or gain. isnt a sign of GOOD VTCs a bad idle if they're grounded? well, i grounded mine and there was no change in anything. am i missing something? i know, its a pretty brainless proceedure. whats wrong with me! :-)

Use a volt ohm multimeter and determine if you performed the ground correctly. I haven't heard of a case where the rewire didn't work. I recently performed it on my g/f's 92 SE and it's been fine. I followed Ryan's procedure.

something interesting that i've recently noticed......the other day my car started doing the clacking again! there is no way in crap i have a bad connection, i soldered everything together. but, the harness/cap thingy (solenoid, i think?) that has the wires coming out of it that you ground, gets just a little bit loose. if i wiggle it around while the engine is running, it will sort of pop, then the ticking goes away. i have to keep it in that position or else the ticking will come back. but it becomes loose like all the time now, and i dont know what i can do about it. that may be the problem for the people who did the grounding and it didnt stop the clicking. it's like i never know if my car will be ticking or not. i hope you guys know what i'm talking about.

here's a pic pointing to what i'm talking about:



any ideas? suggestions?
