ok i'll try to describe best as i can

on the negative terminal, there are 2 ground wires. 1 will ground about 4-6 inches right around the fusebox. The other 1 grounds where? i bought my car used and look like someone just simply cut it. I was gonna just ground it anywhere but feel more comfortable grounding it where it's supposed to be grounded thanks! PS: i think this is why my car has trouble starting sometimes

I'd check an FSM. My best guess would be the engine block.

uuh that should be grounded to the engine on the lower side of the intake. how the hell does your engine start without it considering it grounds the alternator and starter.

You can ground it on the engine block, intake manifold, and on your chassis. There are also more I think.

pics or diagram? that would make it easier for me to ground it better. Well the starting issue is kind of odd. If i crank the key all the way it wont start, it will simply click. But if i crank it slightly so it cranks, it'll start up fine.

Download the FSM if you havn't already, that will help a lot

The short half of the ground cable goes to the batt tray. The longer part goes to the intake manifold. Just take the lower left bolt out of the TB and hook the wire up there.
