Edit:

Score! The complete service manual with diagrams for a 2004 Corolla: http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forum...showtopic=2012

And here, in post #33, is a torrent for what appears to be the whole Toyota service anthology CD: http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forum...pic=7385&st=25

Toyota:

1-ground (brown)
2-trigger (color varies)
3-tach (blue with yellow stripe)
4-V+ (black with white stripe)

These colors are the same on all four connectors. The only one different is the trigger wire depending on which cylinder it is. I have already removed the 2 EGR solinoids, purge solinoid, and fuel regulator solinoid from my car. When I wired the coils I re-pinned the EGR signal wire (from the EGR position sensor) into coil-3 out and used the purge solinoid wire and re-pinned it to coil-4. I had to untape the Miata harness to get the purge lead over by the coils. Inside the Miata harness the stock coils all wire up to only 5 wires. Power, Gnd, 2 signal wires, and tach. The tach leads from the OEM coils are connected together in the harness as well as power and ground.

Some of this information is redundant. I thought I'd explain how I did it. Start off by connecting all four Toyota coils in parallel except for the triggers. Then connect the triggers from 1&4 together and connect it to the Miata trigger for those cylinders brown with yellow stripe. Then connect the triggers from 2&3 and connect them to the second Miata trigger for those cylinders solid brown. If you get those two browns backwards you'll know, just reverse them.

Edit - Ok I'll make it easy on you guys.

Function.........Toyota...................Miata

Ground...........Brown....................Black
Tach..............Blue/yellow.............Black/white
Trigger...........Varies....................Brown/yellow 1&4, Brown 2&3
V+.................Black/white............Blue

Now that I think about it, all the tach wires can be connected no matter what your ecu setup. I may have done it that way I'd have to look.

Did you get the connectors with them? I dug in 2 junkyards for 2 hours before I found those plugs. I even tried other connectors from different cars hoping to get lucky. Ironicly the Miata TPS sensor plug sort of fits. $20 is a deal for the set of coils. I believe the dealer gets $130 something for them. Better keep it quiet or the next thing you know there $75 a pop on ebay.

Around $400 for a system that requires special plugs wires that still have to be replaced periodically, vs $100-200 for a COP setup? I'm listening. I think what you guys are trying to do is very cool.

Cheers!

$100-200?

I did mine for <$50 Flippy just got his coils for $20. Let the purists spend $400. Not me. I'm a DIY guy.

Just grab some aluminum rod, drill it, tap it, and JB weld it to the valve cover. It'll stick.

I wonder how cleanly MSI would handle these.

And the verdict from a quick search is... no sequential. There is a board in the works for MSII.... but nothing clear yet.

I might get some to keep as a replacement set of "plug wires" though... its like the same cost... and shouldn't burn out like the wires do.
