Earthing Points

Post by SuperRedMR2 »

I've got issues again.

I've got no drain on my battery but it feels like an earthing issue.

There is an earth near the thermostat housing/gearbox, one near the coolant reservoir bottle.

Is there one underneath the inlet manifold?

Nope but you can always put in extra. A good test would be to put a jump lead from the engine to the -ve on the battery and see if it stops the issue.

I cleaned the earths up earlier and also tightened the positive lead terminal and it sounded much better and started with no hesitation
