starting issue.. ground related
ok guys I am having a starting issue with my firebird. i've got maybe 400 miles on this engine install, when I got done I had a 4 gauge wire with eyelets big enough to stick a bolt threw on both ends left over. I left it out (cause I didn't know where it went) and tried to start the car on the initial start up, I turned the key on and the gauges lit up, turned the key farther and it clicked a couple times then I lost power to everything. Unhooked the battery tried again same result. So I hooked the 4 gauge wire up as a ground between the accessory bracket and the ground post on the passenger side. Instant fix car started right up. last night with nothing changed between first start and now, I had the same issue. I know this ground probably has a 'proper' place, can someone tell me where its at?
