the mods look done correctly.

one the harness, make sure the brown and white/green wire labeled ignitor goes back to these spots:





If they do, make sure the white/green wire that's labled pin 31, acutally goes back to pin 31 on the db37 side of the harness. If it doesn't, check to see if pin 31 is acutally going to position 1V on the harness connector labled Clutch.

okay. i've never really dealt with wiring diagrams and pinouts but....

as far as i can tell, the white/green wire in 1G on the car side of the harness goes to pin 26 on the MS side. the brown wire in 1H goes to pin 21. the green/white wire labeled clutch in 1V goes to pin 28.


this is from my dumb *** looking at the picture you posted here, and this pic in your MS tutorial

unless you brought the 2nd ign trigger out on a different wire you have it wrong, should be black, brown, big green, big blue, green/white, green, white/green, red, white/blue, gray, blue/white, white, pink, blue, yellow, orange


this is assuming your using the default colors as well

you cant go by the color. you have to follow them back to the pin on the yellow connector.

Fine if you are looking at the connector from the wire (harness) side, not from the plug side.

(zack morris's phone)

the blacks between 1b red and 1n gray does as well? Not that it should matter for spark. Which set of plugs did you say wouldn't fire?

I haven't traced the wire, but the only black on the car side are six i believe in 2a–d, and one that connects two pins on the yellow harness.


No spark on two and three
