On the driver side forward on the engine and nearly hidden undeer an intake
runner and air intake plenum is the long case bolt with a "spur" that has
three blades on it for push on connectors. In the wireloom there are two
white wire sets (SETS) one has only one wire and the other has two wires,
these push onto the ground spur. They are injector grounds.
The only thing on the passenger side of the wire loom other than AFM plug,
two injector plugs is some wires that go the the full throttle switch.
