If you hook a second ground up to your motor block will the existing loose ground wire be grounded?

YES *******
If it's loose, it's a poor ground or no ground at all. Electricity will always take the path of least resistance, so when a circuit requires the path provide by your old ground, it will use the new one instead...either completely, or a small current may flow through the old ground wire.

Where is the alternator grounded on 1997 Ford Taurus?
Alternators are generally grounded through the alternator body to the engine block or head through the attaching bolts.On many cars I've owned I add a ground strap from the alternator body to the block to eliminate any chance of poor connections throught the mounting bracket.
What does an isolated ground mean on a 12 volt alternator?
This might mean the ground is isolated from the case of the alternator. In a normal application, the case of the alternator is the ground connection and being bolted to the engine block via a metal bracket, the grounded case of the alternator is electrically connected to the ground lead of the battery which is also connected to the engine block. An isolated ground might indicate the alternator ground is electrically insulated from the alternator case.

Does motor have to be grounded on 2002 Chevy Cavalier?
Interesting question..glad you ask......The only ground on the engine is the negative cable is attached to the negative post on the battery, then the battery tray, then it is bolted to the block. The connection on the batt. tray sometimes corrodes and is not the best ground. That can be solved by adding your own ground...and then, not to worry.
What do you mean when we say hat an object is grouded?
In Electronics, a "grounded" object is one that is connected to the ground through a connection that allows electricity to flow the ground. In some circumstances, for instance in a car, the rubber wheels make the car isolated from the ground, but electrically a large piece of metal can be called the ground, like the engine block or body of the car. ground in electronics is somtimes spelled GND.
