so if you have .008 you don;t need to and if its like .010 then you need to???
Yes ur correct basically the more voltage you got the worse it is, you probably wont see a huge difference unless the voltage is a substancial amount like like atleast aorund ~.03mv most tcars I have regrounded that were bad had around ~.04mv
Its called shielding, and the shielding runs back almost to the ecu where it branches off to many other grounds, some of teh ground go to actual ECU pins and from there go to ground points of teh chassis, its important you keep these shielded wired seperate or else you'll get a short to ground.
Ok, I just ended up wiring in a whole new connector due to loose pin tension, I added on an extra ground going to the intake manifold, soldered and heat shrinked all connections, and when i plugged it in and turned the key on I get 1.3 volts to eh power wire, 0 to the signal, the signal has .2 ohms to ground, the ground has the same, and the power wire has 2.5k to ground, and it doesnt run, so since I had another ecu laying around, I cut the power wire and took off the extra ground just to be safe, and now I have battery voltage to the power wire, but I havent hooked it all back up yet fearing that I will fry an ecu, could that sheilding have anything to do with it, or did i screw up in another way? I checked the wires to and they are wired in right, im so lost on this, any help please
So did you slide both male connectors into the single female connector? I'm going to pick up the stuff in a little bit. Just curious. I take it you don't need the stock ground unless you are worried, correct?

I would guess that the reason is because the MAF measurements may not be accurate with a bad ground. If this happens, the A/F mixture may not be calculated correctly by the ECM.

The reason for the two female connectors was just incase nothing worked out you could just re attach like as if it was stock. Just incase say..... you fray the inside of the wireing hose or something of that sort. Just a fail safe that's all. Not really nesscery but did it just for this fact.
how does one ground that's less than normal voltage=mess with mpg???
See post #38. More or less the exact reason. Connections will corrode and amps will fade. This is pretty much a better way to keep a good/better currect.
