Ok my buddy's old 95 z was at the yard today so I pulled the brand new housing, coil packs and icm to put on my 2.4 sunfire. Scored it all for 10bux's plus got a 2.3 tb bracket and tb off it for my ho intake. Any way on my 2.4 there is this silver braided wire that like sets under the housing. Then runs up to one of the idi cover bolts. His 2.3 doesn't have it.

What the world is it for and anyone have pics exactly how it goes? I think I have it right but just curious.

sounds like a ground wire. I would not worry about it. Do you have any pictures?

Yea I figured it was some sort of ground. It is actually a ground strap. silver braided with a wire terminal on one end. The way it is now the there is nothing on the other end. It just folds under the housing more less. I can snap a pic of it tomorrow when I pull my cover off unless I do it later.

Really curious what its purpose is and if it even needs to be there.

Yeah, its a ground strap, basically, IIRC, its there so that a static charge, or whatever reason it would be there anyways, doesnt hit the module, and blow it out. I would say put it back under the coil housing, just incase. Its really easy to reinstall that. Just remove the coil housing from the cover (4 5.5 MM Bolts on the housing, and another 4 on the module) lay it back in there, push the rubber holder for the bolt through the hole a little bit slie the spade end into that spot between the metal "bushing" and reinstall everything, and ur done. Im not really sure what its there for, but thats what I have been told, and its there for a reason, so I would put it back just incase. Never hurts.
