Ron,
Thanks again for the help.
So the coil is hooked up correctly, looked at Bentley and found the same
thing.
It is still confusing having a red wire going to the negative side of the
coil and black wires on the positive side.
I didn't test for the load reduction wire, I'll check that
tonight...probably works though since the car isn't having a
problem......yet :0
I have the same fear of hooking this thing up as you mentioned. I keep
reciting over and over in my head the old expression, if it ain't broke....
I'll call Nology today and try to get the low down. I got the setup for free
otherwise I wouldn't even be bothering with it.
