2 black grounds where do they go?

[x2ryder]

I am installing my new EPIC cdi in my 98 SJ. I have 2 black ground wires that both have male ends that I don't see a female end to plug them into? 1 comes of the plug that plug the ebox into the main wiring harness. The other looks to go to teh start stop switch? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

cut them, and add a terminal and ground them

Can I just install a 2 ended feamale connector in between them?

 

[Lucaumpits]

no, because if u do that, you may be just closing the circuit, add 2 round terminal, and ground them, better be safe

You wouldn't be grounding them, as intended.

I used to have a MSD enhancer and never had to cut any wires. I am adding a rotart switch but there is already a black wire coming of the EPIC for that. Where are the 2 male ended black wires supposed to go if they connected somewhere?

What do the instructions say?
Have you emailed ATP?
Chris is extremely helpful and always gets back to you pretty quickly.
Better, yet, call him.

I just shott Chris an email. Thanks

Looks to me like the ground from the start/stop switch and the ground from my stator are both male ends. I don't under stand cause I think the end coming off the stator should be female?

 

[Matt_E]

The ground on a 62T stator is a ring terminal and a male bullet. Same with the start/stop switch.

I read it as a "mullet" at first for dome reason, LOL.

Anyway dude, just ground them.

 

[x2ryder]

Ok well the rings are grounded so does that mean I'm fine leaving the male plugs unhooked?

 

[SUPERTUNE]

One of the extra ground leads went to the overheat sensor (used with the pink).
As long as you have the stator grounded, the start/stop lead, rectifier lead and the coil leads hooked up, you should be fine. Extra lead that is connected to a grounded ring can be left open.

Thanks Chuck!

The ground coming from the stator should have a ring, just fit one and put it on the ground post. Caution make sure this is a good solid connection. You can use the female connecter on the two black wires to connect the black from the stop/start . When you connect your switch use the pink to one side of the switch and connect the other side of the switch to ground.

Theres good advice in this thread, however electrical parts are very expensive and when hooked up incorrectly can not only damage the original part but other parts as well. That being said, I would call the original Manufacturer and get the EXACT wiring to be safe. Good luck

 

[Matt_E]

QJS is the original manufacturer of the ignition.

 

[x2ryder]

Yeah I am talking to Chris currently. Everything should be fine.

 

[DezKnotz]

how does this compare to the msd enhancer

 

[SUPERTUNE]

If Chris has this CDI sorted, there won't be a comparison to the MSD Enhancer.
A programmable ignition is where HP is made!
