Where does this wire go?

[bjfeen]

On the highway yesterday, my '93 Corolla started running on 3 cyls. Limped home and popped the hood and found that half of the alternator belt had come off. One wire was hanging down in the area and I'm not sure where it came from. Can anyone help? It looks like a ground and it is the one resting on the oil cap in the pic. Could this be the cause of running on 3 cylinders? Engine is a 1.6L. TIA!

see the bit between oil sitick and the injector?thats where the earth goes.

it woulsn't cause the engine to miss though, check the distributor, sparkplug leads and sparkplugs instead...

hope this helps

Thanks steel, replaced the nut and reattached the ground. Replaced the plugs, wires and the alt belt and she runs like a top again!

I think some grease cleaner may come in handy in your engine bay haha
