so yesterday i started my car and i did not have my LCD display, radio, or heater controls.
halfway home, freezing in 15°F weather, i heard my key ring jingle and then a click and they all came back to life.
think something was up in my ign. switch? like it didnt come back to the ON position?

I'm checking my engine grounds, and I found one on the front right "frame" rail that looks like it used to attach to an exhaust heat shield a couple inches from the O2 sensor. The bolt it attached to is completely gone along with the section of the heat shield the bolt attached to.
Is that a necessary ground, and if so where is a good place that might exist to reattach it on the engine side? I have a new ground strap or two (one of them is pretty long also).

Thanks! I attached it to one of the valve cover bolts. I can't tell if it made a difference in the hitching/bucking I had (only driven it 5 miles since I did the fix), but it certainly isn't worse.

Mah Saabroo is smelling like gas. This is a common issue from what I have read as the rubber fuel hoses expand or 'stiffen' during very cold weather spilling gas onto the block. Gonna have to take care of it when it gets warmer.
I mean who knew a car designed for cold weather would have common cold weather issues.
