How are you checking for a ground? Those white/red wires are the power feed to most of the FI and ignition stuff under the hood, including solenoids and coils. If you're checking with an ohmmeter, they will be grounding through their loads. You need to look at your wiring diagram and unhook everything on the white/red circuit to find your short. Either buy a circuit breaker or lots of fuses to test with. There was a recall in 99 for the egr valve stainless steel gasket shorting the white/red.

Car popped the ECU fuse and im showing its got a full 12v ground on one side today. Got it home, played around a little without removing the dash. It looks like both of the white with red line cables going to the ignition are showing a ground? where would these two be coming from? I tried unplugging the main harness at the heater core but that didn't make the electrical issue go away, its still showing grounded at the fuse block. where do the two white and red wires going to the ignition (fat wires, like 12 gauge or so?) come from in the car? any great ideas for a solution? -- http://BTDTRacing.com - Float like a Cadillac, sting like a Beemer.
