One goes to the (-) terminal of your battery and the other should go straight to the frame and look more like a metal strap than a wire.4 Take both of these off and clean the terminals and where they bolt up to. ***One other possibility is where the starter housing connects to the tranny. The starter grounds through the case, and if somebody had really dirty hands when they installed it, they just put high resistance in that circuit!...This is what i'm thinking, your battery is good like you said, so, it just needs that extra juice from your buddy's car to get through that resistance. Where exactly is it? I don't know, you will need to diagnose it, and to do it right, you will need a multimeter. Test everything and find your problem before you start buying parts you might not need...Good LuckJustin</blockquote>
