    Anyone know where this wire goes? Did a injector install and car will not start just crank. Put it back together 3 times and I’m just trying to see possible solutions. Thank you

    I'm pretty sure that's the ground wire that goes on the metal bracket right below it in the picture. That's the ground for your coil packs haha Loosen the 10mm bolt on the bracket right there and snug it up with the wire under it and see if that fixes it :)

    There is a brass ground wire lug that has the only loose single black wire in that wire loom.
    That odd brass triangle.

    On my other speed I rewired that ground wire to attach at intake manifold, since i don't use the hpfp plate. Notice its the only single wire.

    The larger wire you tried under bolt head is larger than OEM wire. OEM wire is likely inside that tape tail in the junction area of the loom. That needs to be grounded to allow ecu to moniter the coils, other sensors that are attached to that loom. Its small guage wire, so see if you can fish out the wire in that junction area.

    got it out. I wasn’t sure where it came from at first. Sorry I’m really bad with electrical wiring vehicles I’m learning as I go

    Thats the proper ground wire. When you get a chance carefully resplice oem wire, its so small no loose wire/wires when you make a permanent connection. Just double checking, that you correctly attached the two small connections. One is small black noise suppression device thats on back side area of hpfp. Second is the hot water outlet -engine water temperature sensor.

    I appreciate the knowledge it turned over. I’m carefully resplicing it so hopefully no more problems after this. Also thankful it was a spark issue than a fuel one

    Glad she's running for you! That pesky ground is a pesky cause of issues on this platform. For future Knowledge it's Usually one of the first things to be reccomended to be checked.
