Help! Where does this wire go? 97 4.6

97 F150 Windsor 4.6

I also posted this in electrical, but I'm in a rush and figured this would get more views...

I'm in the process of rebuilding my engine, and I forgot to take a picture of where this ground wire goes. I've looked in the Chiltons manual at the wiring diagrams, but I can't make heads or tails of it.

Here's the ground wire:



It's to the right of all the big wiring harness' above the engine on the firewall. It's a pretty long wire.

If anyone could go and take a look at their truck, or if you just know where it goes, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Daniel

Looks like a chassis to engine ground strap from what I can see. Is the other end looped as well? If so, bolt it to an intake manifold bolt.

I believe it swings across and bolts to the throttle body, the closet of the 4 mounting bolts that hold it to the intake manifold

On my 01 screw with the 5.4 it was attached to the stud in the back of the head. But mine had the plastic intake so maybe it's different.

My truck is a '99 4.6. The wire goes to the right hand side of the intake manifold near the top of the second runner. There is a vertical bolt hole at the top of the runner near the right rear corner of the throttle body.
