    Default VP Coil Pack question

    Hey all

    Just curious as to if the VP 3.8 should have a grounding wire from the coil pack or not (VN's seem to have one)

    Having some issues with rough running and the like, changed coil pack over and seems to run a bit better but noticed that a mates 89 VN has the wire from the coil pack whereas the VP engine in my wagz doesn't have one
    If ignorance is bliss why aren't there more happy people around ?

    You should see an earth wire down a bit further from the coil pack, on one of the three thick bolts that hold the DFI and coils to the cylinder head.

    Mine doesn't have one at all

    Looks like a trip to the wreckers tomorrow as it obviously used to have one before the engine transplant
