Grounding also depend on SVDO and MMC?

No la, the air con not yet sorted la, lack of vitamin M.

I suspect grounding might have some problem base on the pivot grounding
instruction as my is different. As first, mine grounding does not connect
to the alternator earth point. So go through the web site and look how to
connect. Then found one :-

and follow it except the distributor part.

Remove from the so called alternator earth point, the air cond drag is
shorter and air cond compressor will kick in mostly after 3th gear change
but the rpm drop very fast when air cond compressor kick in. Connect
back, air cond drag is longer and air cond compressor kick in on 1st gear
most of the time but the rpm drop slowly when air cond compressor kick in.
Will dry to remove it again to confirm.

Do dyno so cheap one ah? U seem to have done dyno for many times.

I mana ada said the RCAI chiu sui? Is just my car got air cond problem so
hard to notice. Even without the air cond on, it still sucking cooler air
compare sucking air from the engine, right? Im pretty sure after my
nightmare solved, my car will benefit from it. I think FC quite good even
i tekan alot and stuck in traffic several time. I

How much u do dyno? If within budget, might think of do it too since
never try before. Wanna see got any improvement in actual data. So far,
the modification done is dyno by my "loh you". LOL.

Drex,

Took you so long to notice this thread ah? Rikey didn't put you on the
table la, just merely recommend only because u are prof of siemen's
proton. LOL.

No yet settled la. Both the distributor and alternator not yet grounded.
Can't seem to find the earth screw.

Do advise.

Appreciate with many thanks.

distributor - just ground to the block where it's mounted.
alternator - there's one nut, hidded behind the extractor, you need to
do it from below.
