a grounding kit maximizes efficiency of all stock and aftermarket vehicle electrical systems. This results in smoother, more efficient engine operation, better electrical component performance (ilaw, busina - kung naka stebel ka hindi mag dim ilaw mo.., etc).

IMO if you have a less than 5 year old stock car, putting grounding kits will only be a waste of money.

IMO it's only beneficial for older cars or cars with a heavily modded sound system.

*rage: before you spend on grounding kits, have your throttle checked. Kung EFI car mo, might be a clogged vacuum line that starts flowing when warmed up. Kung Carb, try some carb cleaning, and lubricate your idle-up.

Actually, grounding kits have been proven to work on brand new cars, too. Especially electronic throttle cars like the Mazda3. But they need to be tuned and adjusted (i.e.: grounding points moved here and there) for maximum effect. And since dyno-tuning is rather expensive, medyo not worth it to tune them.

But if there's a commercial kit for your car, and someone's already mapped out the optimum ground points online... why not?

It's better to have the carb removed. When using a carb spray, where do you think will all that dirt go?
