The '01 ES300 that my kid is driving around had the timing belt replaced shortly before we got it. Seems as though the shop that did the work didn't one of the ground wires back in place so it's loose in the engine bay. I've got it tucked back for the time being, but would like to get it secured in the proper location.
In looking at pics and videos online it appears to run back behind the engine, but I haven't been able to figure out exactly where. Would someone who has the same gen ES be kind enough to trace this wire for me?
Think I found it. Appears to route back to this lower rear nut on the intake manifold.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the torgue specification on that nut likely matches that of the air intake control valve mounting nut...22 fl/lbs according to my Chilton manual.
I was wondering in the second picture, theres mention of another ground cable being present. Can someone point that out? Does it attach to the black bracket?

The other ground wire is shown in the pic above. It's just to the left of the black intake support bracket and actually attaches to the intake via a 10mm bolt.

'01 ES300 - where does this ground wire go?
