hamhock Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I just like to hear from Legacy owners...some of these findings (on the thread) are more mature and scientifically sound. I'd like to hear more from here. +1. The posts here are a LOT more informative and mature than the posts on Nabisco. I'm definitely willing to listen as well:).

mwiener2 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I'll probly break out the Multi-Meter tomorrow if I get bored enough and it's not too hot out My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zennoodle Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I'll probly break out the Multi-Meter tomorrow if I get bored enough and it's not too hot out Oh I miss Colorado. If I was up there, I'd let you borrow my ginormous cooling fan...its seriously blows cold air. It's pretty neat. Then we could have fun with the multimeter.

ercdvs Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Someone needs to photo he engine bay, and highlight the current & suggested grounding points for people to check. Post your numbers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I measured NO resistance from any grounded point on the car to the battery. Disconnected battery and again measured NO resistance. Meter read 0.1-0.2 OHMS From any point on the engine, alternator, frame... anything to ground. Meter also read 0.1-0.2 between the two leads of the meter...so I got no resistance whatsoever in my car's electrical system.

Anyone who participated in the thread have more findings? I'd like to have a scientific method of hooking up the points. I was thinking just to follow the factory's grounding points but some people said on here that they found something better so I guess either I can re-read everything in this thread OR just wait for pictures and proof. Making your own grounding kit isn't hard and costs maybe $20 bucks if that for wire and materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Means a grounding kit would just be adding weight to my car. My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaqtly Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Means a grounding kit would just be adding weight to my car. So then the $64,000 question is: Did you have the stuttering problem? I believe that was the issue that prompted all this grounding testing in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 yes, i have had and occasionally do have the studdering problem. I've learned to drive around it by being in the right gear at the right time.

Crawdaddy79 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I see people talking about the Pinto all over the place... Surely the Yugo is a much worse vehicle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
