Ground Connections

[jremps]

Anyone having issues with these connectors? Are there any remedies? I have seen someone cut them off and soldered the wires together for a solid connection. They haven't had any issues since.
I had multiple codes and a no start backfire while cranking and i ended up probing these grounds and eventually the codes went away and fired right up (after changing plugs and a starter that grenaded because of the backfire). Also had a tors code that i think was fixed by wiggling these connectors also.

What's this ? Is it a plug? Left side of sled under the radiator?

I think it might be a plug in for the Dealer for diagnostics.

Check the harness behind the primary. There is a casting nub that rubs through on the 08/09 models. You can either file down the nub or do a hold off with a large tie strap. But check those wires.
