Static X Grounding Kit Order List - OVER 400 SERVED! - Page 9

Robert..

Your instruction does not say that we need to remove the TGV Sensor to remove bolt #7.

But somehow I had a hard time removing the bolt on ground point #7. The 14mm socket just can't snug fit into the bolt because my extension was hitting the AC stainless line so if I forced it then I would probably twist the bolt.

I tried another way from behind the AC line. The extension was hitting the TGV sensor.
So I removed the TGV sensor to get clearance for the wrench extension then yes. the 14mm socket snugged in nicely.
I guess I forgot that the TGV sensor is a spring loaded sensor when I installed it back.
Then I got P1086 and I could not erase this using my OBD2 scanner.

I write this here just in case somebody is experiencing the same thing.
I bought socket wrench and extension @ Walmart.
Others might not have to remove the TGV sensor in order to remove the bolt but somehow I had to.

Sorry if you get confused...

See thats what I mean though... I didnt remove any sensor and you and the other person were the first I've heard of doing that as well

. I will put that warning in there as advised, but I dont think its a requirement *shrug*. Thank you for your input though and Im sorry that, that happened! Hopefully everything is A-ok now

Robert,

Can you set me up for black instead of Blue like I ordered? I should go low key. I'm Chris L, # 20 on the list.

Thanks, Chris

***staticx313*** · 12-30-2003, 07:17 PM

Consider this:
When you drive your car during nice weather.. Temperature is just perfect.
Not too cold not too hot.. That's how it feels

I can see I am gaining gas mileage but not confirmed.. I think I would let the ECU re-learn everything first..

I think this is a record... I sold 6 kits yesterday lol Im going to hire some help to get this all knocked out in one day still so that you all get your kits in a timely fashion. The wires for ALL the new orders (the last 9 on the list) should be shipped out today.

Kit went on easy, except for the ground point 7 which was a huge pain, yet totally possible w/o removing TGV sensor. Car took about 5-6 seconds to start afterwards and using that quick 5 second method of resetting your ECU to maximum benefit, I feel the car is running great. I haven't noticed a hp increase really, but the car definately runs smoother, idles better and the interior lights appear to be a bit brighter (can't tell on the headlights). Overall, I am very pleased.....cheap, yet VERY effective mod!!!!!

***staticx313*** · 01-02-2004, 08:42 PM

Thank you for another positive feedback

. Im actually looking into making a kit WITHOUT that one point and drop the price however much accordingly. As it isnt 100% necessary, as I found a couple of stock wires taht are in that area (which would suffice as you're pulling the load off of the rest of the grounding wires - with the direct connection grounding kit) and I could drop the price and bypass that part to make the kit 10x easier and that way no one will have any problems. What do you guys think? I have no problem either way, but I am asking you all.
