Grounding Throttlebody?

thats how^

yea, because it works...it makes sense and it works.
If your so sure about this mod then why dont you add a ground to the AC compressor, the compass and temp sensor, whatever else you can find?

 

I don't know, I suppose the rear section of the frame and a throttle body isolated in-between two sections of plastic are comparable in theory.

 

With scotch tape.

 

Divide by zero while your at it and txt me from the future when you get there.

Good one, Macgyver Be sure to include a paperclip and some chewing gum

 

Chewing gum acts as an insulator wrapped around the tape...but us real men don't need no stinkin insulation.

 

the paperclip will send bluetoof signals to your smartphone and let you know how much more hp you get out of this mawd.

 

Genius! Then you can use a TI-83 calculator for datalogging!

 

HAHA this thread turned into so much win!

Bradley i know we have all spent more time on this thread than it takes to do the mod but i am also like 6000 miles away from my truck and have nothing better to do than debate this.

 

I'm just gonna ground my whole truck. Anybody got any really long ground wire? I'm thinking of putting the ground post at my house, and I drive to work about 30 miles from there.

 

lol how did u get neutral rep in here?

 

Just hang chains from underneath like they do with Ambulances.

 

lol

 

...Is a "that's what she said" quote

 

so whats the resistance between the positive and negative terminals on the battery

 

After seeing a couple posts on this throttle body grounding, I actually looked into it to see if there was anything to it despite how useless it sounds. What I found was there's a thread on damn near every car forum on this topic, all stemming from and referencing the same damn Mazda 3 forum where they claimed it had huge results... What does that tell you, you're relying on subjective evidence from group of people who bought a Mazda 3. I rest my case.


Oh, I should also add that every thread pretty much ended like this one where the OP and his few supporters got flamed

 

Haven't you been paying attention?? It's 100/0, you do the math

 

In before someone notices the ground wires leading to their knuckles/brakes.









(which are there to dissipate static electricity...)

 

yes but they are grounded to the frame. which has resistance to the battery. if they were grounded directly to the negative terminal itd be way more efficient and relieve the electrical system of unnecessary load...

its actually amazing how much everybody uses electricity yet know so little about it...

 

is the neg terminal hooked up to the ground wire?

 

Yes, it is. Like a comparison to a section of frame (chassis ground) to a metal component isolated in between two sections of plastic.
