Hello all
Part way through fitting the Ultraspark electronic ignition module yesterday I became distracted and had a human memory failure!
The Ultraspark module is apparently vert sensitive to extraneous voltages so i wan to get this right first time. The problem is that my loom (car is 1987 1500) does not match the Haynes manual 100%.
I have stripped out the large radio interference capacitor which was attached to the Negative terminal of the coil and also the previous owner's installation of a kill switch.
However I am left with the following wires:
Pink goes to positive on coil
Brown wire factory crimped with a green wire (call this Green1) into one terminal goes to the Negative terminal (nb this is not the green wire from the capacitor or from the distributor)
A further green wire (call this Green2) previously attached to the coil (but I cannot remember where!) now detached. Again, this is not the green wire from the capacitor or from the distributor, but instead trails back between the engine and bulkhead and disappears into a loom.
Questions:
What is Green1 feeding? The tacho?
What is Green2 feeding?
Does anyone else have Green2? Please can you have a look!
To which coil terminal is Green2 to be reconnected? I assume + terminal.
No doubt this can be done by trial and error but the cost of modules precludes it!
All help gratefully received.
Happy New Year
