Will do, a quick question though, did you un-hook the battery before removing the ground wire from its location?

i will have to do it on saturday morning and see what happens, at the very least, it cant hurt anything since no parts are being changed, and I am not rigging anything up. if it does great, if not, oh well.

RE: Slow at picking up speed

Cause now the car is getting the "energy" it needs to go!
Ok, maybe i'm stoopid.............well prolly i am. How does the car get more energy from getting better contact btween the ground wire and a metal surface?
