Hey guys

When I removed the coil from my L300 that has a 4G63 SOHC I did write down which wire goes where but i didnt write something down correctly and it isn't making sense.

Can someone help me please::

I have from Dizzy:

Blue wire

Black/ white stripe

From Loom:

Black/ red stripe

White/ black stripe

Black/ white stripe

Can someone please tell me which wire goes where, as my diagram is wrong :rolleyes:

This may be the same as other Mitsi vehicles taht use 4g63 sohcs.

Judging from these two pics

To the positive terminal on the coil should be:

Black wire with white stripe from the Distributor (positive feed to dizzy)

Black wire with white stripe from the body loom (positive feed from battery/

To the negative terminal on the coil should be:

Blue wire from the Distributor

White wire with black stripe (thin wire) from the body loom

Unsure where the Black wire with red stripe should go as I can't clearly see it in my pics. Remember you should have a ballast resister too, perhaps Black with red stripe is the ballast resister bypass power feed for when the engine is cranking.

Thanks fuel.

Originally I wrote down:

Ballast-

1 side:

Black/white from Loom

Black/white from Dizzy

2nd Side:

Black with black plug from loom

Coil-

Negative:

Black/ white from Loom

Blue from Dizzy

Positive:

Black from ballast. (which now makes no sense to me....)

Ok got her running!! Running mint, timing must be all good

As for the Black wire with red stripe from the loom I'm still not sure.

I got it running without a ballast, i'm actually lost as to what wires should be running from ballast to wherever so some more help would be good.

get a multimeter and find which wire has constant power on ignition, that should go to the ballast and then the other end of the ballast should go to the coil. then find the wire which gets power only when the starter motor is being triggered, this should go direct to the positive side of the coil.
