Main Ground?

where is the main ground suppose to be connected to the block or the chassis? The same ground thats on the crank angle sensor and oil pump harness. Right now I have it connected to one of the transmission bolts. And would that cause it not to start? please help.

You people have issues.

No, I'm not a wiring genius. I'm just a guy who was an electronics hobbies before I got into cars. Thus I have a unique perspective on wiring. One of the reasons I made the grounding writeup was from all the dodgy advice from experts who should know better.

Spray starter fluid into your snorkel/air filter for two to three seconds. Go start the engine. IF it starts now, your problem is your fuel lines are on backwards...pump isn't working......no power to the fuel injectors or???? Never keep a engine running by spaying starter fluid continuously into the air filter....KNOCK.
