    ok thanks for making your post here. Now if your coil has a permenet negative hooked up it won't fire, that's meant to be pulsed by the ignitor!

    If ur got stock loom and ignitor make the green plug that goes to the ignitor is plugged in proper. And run a wire from ur battery straight to positive side of coil.

    Black with orange dots is actually black with brown dots, which is tacho. Do not give power to this.....

    Black with a continuous orange LINE is the one to give power to. Generally if your igniter is connected to your coil normally, placing 12v ignition on the positive terminal will then give 12V to the igniter and therefore the black orange wire.

    I always thought u was sposed to to hav power on both sides of the coil. I wired mine exactly the way Microtech sed to and I got power on both sides of all my coils. Even though one side is negative. I thought pos on coil was constant power and neg was the pulse. Same as like ur injectors. On power one pulse.
