81 spider 2000, coil wiring.

Post by Sydmn »

I've had my coil assy apart and I'm not sure I have the wires back on the correct terminal. Would some one kindly compare what I have with their car and let me know if there are differences.
Positive terminal: Pink, ignition.
Red, Control Module.
Black, Radio Noise Capacitor.
Negative terminal: Black, Control Module.
Brown/white, Tachometer & Control Unit.
Yellow ???
I have ground connections to the cast coil support and the base bracket.
Many thanks in advance.

Pretty sure the yellow wire should trace to pin 1 of the ECU. It connects to the coils D or - terminal along with the Brown/white wire for the tachometer. All the wire connections you have listed are correct.
