the electrical section of the FSM will define the location of all body grounds - seem to me. they're all over the place...

There is a ground distribution diagram in the FSM.

Joe's right- they ARE all over the place!
I have the FSM, and I'm trying to see if my misfiring is caused by a bad ground. They have pics for a lot of other parts of the car. It would have been nice if they had done the same here. the descriptions are OK, but could be better.
