[QUOTE="E.Marquez, post: 11572480, member: 133678"] Each major system and subsystem will have multiple ground paths,, even in the unlikely event you had zero connectivity in that ground wire, the chances are very, very small it would cause a failure like you had. Second, your ground path was impacted if I understand how you installed the catch can, when you get the car back I recommend a change. If you stick with the ground strap UNDER the bracket: Strip the paint / powder coat from the bracket so it makes metal to metal contact …remove a small amount of paint on the body where the ground strap makes contact.. 2mm around the screw hole will be fine. Assemble it.. BODY>GROUND STRAP>BRACKET> WASHER>FASTENER. If you place the ground strap on top of the bracket: You do not need to remove any paint or powder coat from the body or bracket. Ground path is then going from the body, to threaded fastener, to direct contact with the ground strap. Lastly, If you do not own a Volt Ohm Meter (VOM), please go buy one.. even a cheap one from Sears, $19 or less on sale gets you a decent model… and check the resistance between the ground strap and known good ground (at the battery terminal, or a direct grounded location from there) [/QUOTE]
