I need a little help finding all of the body ground locations.

My car cuts out when I'm launching and it actually hooks.

The car stalls and the clock resets on the radio.

Is the battery mounted in the hatch or still in the front?

I'm not sure if anyone here know's all the ground locations, but we could probably help to figure out where to start looking 1st.

Battery is in the stock location using factory mounts (no movement) and the cables are in good condition.

The motor has been rebuilt in the last year and its been acting up since then. So my guess would be that one has something to do with the other. Thats why Im thinking it has something to do with a body ground.

there's 2 on the core support one on each fender one on the back of the passenger side head, there is a ground strap on the driver side of the block if im not mistaken been a while, these are all under the hood

inside there are 2 big ones under the dash on each side right next to the doors if you remove the kick panels you should see them, there is a small one under the center console, i think there was one under the back seats and there are a few in the trunk, hope that helps

the main one for all my wires is the one on the headlight panel. mine was loose and caused my headlights to short out. chances are, if it was rebuilt, they moved the wires a lil bit so they may not all be sent to stock ground locations,

Make sure to check the ground that goes from the chassis to the head. That is a very easy one to miss and can cause ignition problems.
