Re: HELP, need Coil info ASAP

["Randy B" <sirocco@telocity.com>]

Ok so I got it hooked up.
>From the coil amplifier I wired the red wire to the (+) side of the coil and
the black wire to the (-) side of
the coil....no smoke and the car didn't blow up so I guess I did it right.
I'll drive it tomorrow to see if I get
any type of seat of the pants performance gains from it.

WTF is up with VW wiring a red wire to the (-) side of the coil and two
black wires to the (+) side. Did they
miss that day in class in Wiring 101 when they taught that red is (+) and
black is (-). Grrrrrrr....

Now to find out if these things really work or not (remember I got these for
free)
If they don't work, at least the wires look pretty :)

Thanks again for the help guys,

Its REALLY simple. The side that you found power is the positive side and
the other side is guess what, negative.
(rocket science lesson over.)

Hook the RED wire to the power side and the black wire to the other
terminal and your done.
Hey! (thump-thump!) WAKE UP!

11:am indeed......
