So i should remove the following grounds?
1. Battery Negative to Firewall
2. Firewall to Passenger Side Strut Tower.
3. Battery Negative to top bolt on Distributor.
4. Battery Negative to Alternator.

I am still trying to figure out which wire that "little ground cable" is.

The one's I replaced were:
a. Battery Negative to Driver Side Strut Tower.
b. Transmission to somewhere (cant seem to remember where the other end was).

There's also a very thin wire attached to the frame very close to the passenger-side headlight. I didnt touch it since it seemed to be connected to a mesh of other wires. Do you know wht that is?

And thanks. Very insightful, this conversation of ours.

the wire to the front from the cylinder head is for the headlights and bonnet, The little wire you originally had on the transmission case ends at the right side chassis leg. Honda was real cheap by using a joke of a wire as ground. One solid wire from the battery to the transmission is always ideal.

well in that case I already upgraded the transmission cable. the shift shocks (which were very hard earlier) have now toned down and shifts to the fourth gear are barely noticeable.

If I want to upgrade the headlight/bonnet wire, what gauge wire should I use?
The current wire has turned dark brown from rust and grime.

you are still living the placebo - your cars transmissions shifts are hydraulic controlled they have nothing to do with electrics, so how can you assume that the ground cable repaired that fault.

heh! really?! I need to have my car checked anyway... tranny (1/2 gears) shifts are delayed and rather jerky as compared to the 3/4. Plus fuel consumption is 280-290 on a full tank (A/T; with or without AC).

I need to check the acceleration now. Will swing to DHA Phase 8 and time my car.

ecu ka fault lagta hai

seems like your transmission is starting to pack up for the holidays

actually, it's been doing that for a while now... months over months... my mech said "chalao jab tak chalti hai" LOL.

but i am looking to change to the Auto tranny that comes with D15B Dual VTEC. Also looking to change the ECU, replace that single VTEC solenoid (that my mech forcefully put in) with dual solenoids, as well as add an O2 sensor.

would you happen to know the codes of tranny and ecu? (tad bit off topic).

Update: Speaker whine removed when I changed fuel pump.

Noise filters? You mean those isolators? Nah... Any signal suppressor will probably end up suppressing sound quality as well.
