Torn Ground Strap on my Chrysler 2.5.

Postby 89ARIES » Fri Oct 07, 2011 4:53 pm

I hope this is the magic solution to solve my car's driveability problems for the last two years. Thanks to Bill Bauer, this was
brought to my attention. It is visible under the hood. Coming out from the left side of the throttle body (passenger side of
car) is a short 5 inch long ground strap belt. Its like a flat belt with wires meshed together. It goes into the firewall and
disappears somewhere inside the car, I know not where. Well, it is partly severed. Somebody was rough with it and cut
the copper wires part way through the band. I can feel the exposed sharp ends. What do I do? Is this comething I can fix
myself. Is this why my car has been running so uneven and trying to kill me throughout the year. Please help. :shock:
