4 earth

how do i fins the 12v

my mate has the same coilpack on his car but has different coloured wires to me he has this but were not sure what they do

Is the coil pack wired so all three coils at one end are tied together? Is that point hardwired to a earth ground mount point? If not just wire the common terminal to +12V, the other ends of the coils to your VB's.

The pic below is from a random 306 wiring diagram on the web and it may not be for your model year. It would indicate that pin 3 is the common +12v power, pin 1 to Coil1 for plugs 1/4 and pin 2 to Coil2 for plugs 2/3. This would also support the assumption that pin 4 comes from the common power feed to the external noise suppression capacitor. Verify your info.

A way to crosscheck would be to compare resistance readings between pins. Using the picture in this case:

3/4 almost zero resistance
3/1 low resist
3/2 low resist
1/2 higher resistance about double 3/1 or 3/2

Hope that helps,
David

resistance

Post by bens_cab »

ok the last post was about the resistance just done this test and found this

if i hold the com probe onto pin4 then test i get this

pin 1 to 4 =1.7
pin 2 to 4 =1.7
pin 3 to 4 =1.2

so if ive read this right pin 3 is 12v and 1&2 are signal ?
