Can I get pictures of Engine bay grounding?
Hi.
I need some pictures of the engine bay grounding. I will rewire the ground wires to get rid of hard to starting problem when the engine is hot.
I met a kind guy who told me about the ground wire. He recommand here are a lot of pictures and information related to engine grounding to me.
Honestly I'm not sponsor member yet, so I couldn't use the search function.
Can you help me?
Thanks.

I think you may have a bad sensor somewhere. I don't think it is grounds.
Engine won't start hot:
You've driven your car for a while and you stop somewhere for a short time. When you try to start the car again, it won't start.
Possible causes:
Ignition module or main EFI relay may be overheating: Replace affected parts.
Vapor lock: Open hood and allow the engine to cool for about 30 minutes. Insure heat shields and/or supplemental cooling fan is working properly.
There is a fuel injection problem: EFI system meeds to be scanned to find problem. Possibly a bad ECM or Coolant Temp Sensor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Engine turns over slowly when warm:
When you try to start the car when it's warm it cranks very slowly. Sometimes it will start, but most often it won't.
Possible causes:
Engine oil may be to thin or contaminated with gasoline: Change the oil and filter. Use the proper grade of oil.
Dirty or loose battery cables: Clean and tighten cables as required.
Battery is weak or dead: Test battery and charging system. Replace battery.
Battery cables are bad: Replace the battery cables as required.
Starter is overheating: Replace the motor.

If you search you will see a post by certain member (Matt93SE). He brought up a good point about the active tuning grounding kit.
Ill try find it, perhaps it will shed some light in this thread on why the active tuning grounding kit is not very good.

google search

also, the tranny could be poorly grounded to the engine, or the starter may be poorly grounded to the transmission.
I know they seem far-fetched, but I've seen a car so bad that 9/10 times it WOULDN'T start..ground wires were added...still nothing...The tranny was taken off, mating surfaces cleaned, and the car started perfectly afterwards.
keep in mind, that was when installing a used tranny; the mating surface had a chance to get dirty. On your car, probably not the problem, just pointing out that ground wires may not fix things like that.
My dad, a nissan mechanic, says they've had a lot of problems like this over the years, 4th gens especially. 98% of the time it was ground issues, and rarely the issue never could be found.
good luck!

Google site search, awesome. Some people don't even know about CTRL F.
Like I said, you might add 32 gound wires and still have the problem. Try taking the starter off the tranny and sandind down the mating surfaces.
