I was putting the 2.5 back into my 2000 OBW and saw this bolt unscrewed which makes me think something should go on it. Do I have the starter ground in the wrong place. Check my pic out. Thanks

I dont believe a ground goes there ( I could be wrong)...That kind of looks like the place the EGR should be, im thinking maybe someone used a little plate and bolt to block it off... OF course im sure your aware there is a ground that the upper starter bolt goes threw...Im sure someone else will chime in...

If no ground it just holds the plate the covers the fuel injectors. Juts no idea why I would have loosened. Thanks

That may be for the ground wire on the Engine harness. If the engine harness ground is on one of the intake bolts instead of htat one there is the problem.

 

But it is not the battery ground though.

On both my 2000 and 2001 OBW, there is a ground strap that goes from that bolt in your picture up to a bolt on the firewall.

Thanks for the reply.. The only ground I have from the firewall goes to the screw on my starter. Any chance you can snap a few pics and email to me. msmithmmx@yahoo.com

I will try to snap the pics and send them tonight.

I figured it out. You are right from the firewall there is a ground to the air intake. I had that wire to the starter bolt (wrong). The Real starter wire was burried in the mess and I never saw it.
