I grounded my VTCs according to the instructions on your site. Everything went well, but the VTC's are still acting up and the ticking noise is still there, not even somewhat more quiet.

I opened the wire connected to the first VTC selenoid and inside were two wires, 1-yellow/green, 2-blue/red. I exposed the green and yellow wire and connected a grounding wire to it and connected the other end underneath a screw to ground it.

Taped the whole thing up and gave it a try....BLAH! Ticking still there!!

Anything I forgot or should have done differently??

 

Well if you did everything according to his direction's I am sure you did it right.Because he know's his wiring.Maybe it is your valve's.You might want to have them checked.

 

everything sounds right, just make sure you make a solid connection
if you have a voltage tester, test the wire at your splice, you shouldn't have any voltage goign through there since you grounded it

other than that, I'm not too sure; everyone else I've heard from has done it sucessfully
